Comparison episodic memory scores of the experimental group before and after participating in EMTP-E and those scores between the experimental and control group by using a story memory subtest and a picture memory subtest from Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, Second Edition (WRAML2) were analyzed by using Mann Whitney U test.
