It’s a great news for you women, because according to some research females have their better advantage when it comes to episodic memory, it’s a type of long term memory based on personal experiences. Swedish team of psychologists showed that women are better in average in remembering faces rather than men.
These discoveries may have an evolutionary explanation from the female-female competition issues. “Women certainly fought and continue to fight over the best guys … those with good genes and resources to invest in kids,” says David C. Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia who wasn’t involved with the study.
Remembering details of personal experiences is important for monitoring and maneuvering relationships, including disrupting the social and romantic ties of other women who are competitors, he says. Previous studies have shown that women also have a superior memory for verbal information, which they may use to dissect a person’s underlying motives or intentions-a skill that, according to Geary, “seems to elude many men.”
