女性更擅长情节记忆

Women have better recall when it comes to remembering specifics， according to new research by Swedish scientists.

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.

Episodic memory is the ability to recall autobiographical events such as what happened last week or whether the cat was fed this morning.

The research also indicates women are better at remembering faces and recalling sensory memories such as smells.

The research group based their findings on 617 studies that were conducted between 1973 and 2013.

But researchers say that memories come in many forms and men do actually have the advantage sometimes.

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.

瑞典科學家进行的一项新研究发现，女性比男性更擅长记忆各种细节。

女性似乎在记忆方面具有优势，她们能记住一段对话里有哪些细节，不见了的东西可能在哪儿，这是因为她们更擅长情节记忆。

情节记忆指的是回想起诸如上周发生了哪些事，或者今早是否喂过猫等自传式事件的能力。

研究还指出，女性更擅长记住面容以及回想起诸如气味等的感官记忆。

该研究小组是基于其在1973年至2013年间开展的617项研究得出的这些结果。

但研究人员也表示，记忆的形式有很多种，有些时候男性在记忆方面也具有优势。

譬如，男性更可能找到回到车的所在位置的路，因为他们擅长记忆空间处理相关的信息。
