“Memory is a costly process for your brain, requiring much energy and attention to maintain and update. It therefore makes sense that we are set up to optimise on-the-go decision-making, even if that occasionally means blending two sources of information instead of separately quarantining them in our memory stores.”

“Have you ever heard someone say they have difficulty identifying people who belong to a different racial category, remarking that they 'all look the same'? the cross-race effect (or own-race bias).”
I happen to have been thinking about there’s a certain racial group that exhibits limited physical diversity among its members, perhaps due to a relatively small gene pool despite its large population.

Why wouldn’t a single semantic memory suffice in this kind of situation? How can a fabricated episodic memory prove more efficient than a factual semantic memory, given that the former's reliance on multimodal sensory, spatial, and temporal data? It sounds like 'personal experiences with contextual details' is more important than efficiency, but cost-efficiency is the sole focus discussed here.
