Are All Memories Alike? - Cultural Differences

I found this article to be very interesting because I had never really thought on the topic of cultural differences in memory. I read the article and in my opinion, it is a very interesting fact to know that there are differences in memory within cultures like for example they say in the article that maybe a North Korean old guy could never remember something before age 4, but maybe a "gringo" might remember anything from 4 years and below because of what Freud called "childhood-amnesia". I learned a lot in this article because sometimes you are able to know something without really thinking about it and this is what happened to me when I was reading the article. there were some parts that I felt like i was hearing the same story I had heard from someone else before but never really sat down and thought about it really.

Are all Memories Alike? - Gender Differences

Based on the article, I learned that in fact gender differences favour women because it says that some scientists researched this and found out that women are better than men to remember everyday events. Specific results indicated that women excelled in verbal episodic memory tasks, such as remembering words, objects, pictures or everyday events, and men outperformed women in remembering symbolic, non-linguistic information, known as visuospatial processing. For example the results ay thata a man would be more fast to find his way out in the woods. 
Also, the results say that women would remember better such things as locations of car keys or something like that. Also, using the information given we can see that women are better to remember things like faces or names and especially those of females. 
To determine this particular finding, the psychologists presented three groups of participants with black and white pictures of hairless, androgynous faces and described them as ‘female faces,’ ‘male faces’ or just ‘faces.’ The findings indicate that women were able to remember the androgynous faces presented as female more accurately than the androgynous faces presented as male.
