Study found that women are better at remembering something than men
News24xx.com - A research shows women are slightly better than men in remembering details such as conversations or words and even faces. There are many types of memory stored by humans and used to survive. One of the key memories possessed by humans is called 'episodic'.
The Encyclopedia of Neuroscience explains episodic memory is a memory that consciously we remember which contains various events that are experienced personally. Unfortunately, not everyone can remember this type of memory well.
Research conducted by Karolinska Instutuet in Sweden analyzed millions of participants to find out how they remember information from their episodic memories. The results show women are better at remembering certain types of episodic memories than men.
The principal researcher, Prof. Agneta Herlitz and her team conducted a meta-analysis of 617 studies that took place in 1973-2013, including more than 1.2 million participants overall. "The results show that women have better memories in episodic memory, and the benefits vary depending on which material should be remembered" he was quoted as saying by Medical News Today.
In particular, women seem to be better at remembering words, where they leave something, and what happens during a movie, women are also better at remembering faces they just met. Men, on the other hand, seem to be better at remembering abstract information and navigation data.
