A new study has confirmed what many men already knew:women's memory is better than men's.
In the University of London study, which included 9,600 people in their 50s, it was found that middle-aged women have better memories than men. In the first experiment, volunteers test listened to 10 words and were given two minutes to recall as many as possible. The second test required them to list the same 10 words about five minutes later.
Females scored almost 5% more than men in the first test and nearly 8% more in the second. In another test, which involved naming as many animals as possible in one minute, men and women had identical scores. Non-smokers, including ex-smokers, also outscored smokers in the first of the 'word recall' tests.
