The semantic structure of events consistently influences episodic memory recall over time in young and older adults.

The Poisson mixed model exploring the number of central details recalled 1 week after encoding revealed a marginally significant main effect of age group ( β = 0.21, SE = 0.11, χ 2 (1) = 3.55, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.43], p = 0.06), with a tendency of young adults reporting more central details than older adults, and a main effect of recall type ( β = − 0.61, SE = 0.04, χ 2 (1) = 184.10, 95% CI [− 0.69, − 0.52], p < 0.001; See Table 2 for mean values), with participants recalling more central details for videos recalled multiple times than only once.
