Abstract

The relationship between memory and gender has been a topic of interest for researchers for several decades. While there is no clear consensus on the exact nature of this relationship, studies have suggested that there are some differences between males and females in terms of how they remember information. One of the main differences that has been identified is that females tend to have better verbal memory than males. This means that they are better at remembering information. There are also some studies that suggest that hormonal differences between males and females may play a role in memory differences. It’s said that gender differences in memory play an important role in recalling short term memory. A study conducted to find out recall process memory using auditory stimuli concluded that females scored more compared to males. This research focuses on gender differences in recalling short term memory using visual stimuli. A video was shown and after a day they were given 15 questionnaires and were asked to answer respectively. It was found that male tend to recall the initial part and females tend to remember the later part.
