Sex differences favoring women have been found in a number of studies of episodic memory. This study examined sex differences in verbal, nonverbal, and visuospatial episodic memory tasks. Results showed that although women performed at a higher level on a composite verbal and nonverbal episodic memory score, men performed at a higher level on a composite score of episodic memory tasks requiring visuospatial processing. Thus, men can use their superior visuospatial abilities to excel in highly visuospatial episodic memory tasks, whereas women seem to excel in episodic memory tasks in which a verbalization of the material is possible.
在多项关于情景记忆的研究中发现了有利于女性的性别差异。本研究考察了言语、非言语和视觉空间情景记忆任务中的性别差异。结果表明，虽然女性在言语和非言语情景记忆综合得分上表现更高，但男性在需要视觉空间处理的情景记忆任务综合得分上表现更高。因此，男性可以利用其卓越的视觉空间能力在高度依赖视觉空间的情景记忆任务中表现出色，而女性似乎在可以对材料进行言语表述的情景记忆任务中表现出色。
