What to Remember About Your Memory

How good are you at remembering things? Another new study is out that says women have an edge over men when it comes to remembering things.

That’s been the conventional wisdom for years. Just ask any woman.

And now this new study that looked at research into the differences between how well women and men remember things confirms it.

The researchers looked at hundreds of studies done over the last few decades about things we remember.

And they say the results do show that women do have the edge when it comes to what’s called “episodic memory” such as the ability they describe as being able to remember events, such as what we did last week or whether we took our medication this morning.

That includes memories involving verbal processing and include words, texts, objects, recalling sensory memories that can involve emotions.

But these researchers also found that men are better at remembering information involving spatial processing, such as how to find their way back from one location to another.

While all of this is probably not surprising to most, it is something to remember when it comes to your relationships with the opposite sex.
