Gender-linked differences in the incidental memory of children and adults
Article Abstract:
Research has revealed that contrary to previous predictions, females do not have a better incidental memory than males. A study, which required participants to remember 18 gender-stereotyped toys in a room, concluded that females do not have a memory advantage and that both sexes remembered more toys related to their own sex group. The research involved children aged between 3 and 6 and adults.
