Jot down guys, women have better memory London: Wondering how your wife manages to remember the wedding anniversary everytime? Well, scientists at Cambridge University have found an explanation - women really do have better memories than men. As part of their study, the researchers tested congnitive and physical performance of almost 4,500 men and women currently aged between 48 and 90 years. Results showed women making an average of 509 fewer errors on a specific test of memory thatn men. The findings may help scientists to further understand the causes of A;zheimer's disease and other dementias and potentially to detect the earliest signs of dementia more accurately. "In this study, we used a measure of memory that is spatial and women consistently outperformed men. There are many possible explanations for this, including both neuro biological and environmental differences." |
