女性更擅長情節記憶

Women have better recall when it comes to remembering specifics, according to new research by Swedish scientists.瑞典科學家進行的新研究發現，女性比男性更擅長回憶起各種細節。Females apparently have the edge when it comes to remembering features of a conversation or where missing objects might be because they fare better with episodic memory.女性似乎具有天然的優勢，能記住一段對話裡有哪些細節，不見了的東西可能在哪兒，這是因為她們的情節記憶更好。Episodic memory is the ability to recall autobiographical events such as what happened last week or whether the cat was fed this morning.情節記憶指的是回憶起諸如上周發生了哪些事，或者今早是否餵過貓等自傳式事件的能力。

The research also indicates women are better at remembering faces and recalling sensory memories such as smells.研究還指出，女性更擅長記住面容以及回想起感官記憶，譬如各種氣味。The research group based their findings on 617 studies that were conducted between 1973 and 2013.該研究小組是基於他們在1973年至2013年間開展的617項研究得出的這些結果。But researchers say that memories come in many forms and men do actually have the advantage sometimes.但研究人員也表示，記憶的形式有很多種，男性有些時候也具有優勢。For instance, a male is more likely to be able to find his way back to the car because they are good at remembering information involving spatial processing.譬如，男性更可能找到回到車上的路，因為他們擅長記憶空間處理相關的信息。
