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.

情節(jié)記憶指的是回想起諸如上周發(fā)生了哪些事，或者今早是否喂過貓等自傳式事件的能力。

研究還指出，女性更擅長(zhǎng)記住面容以及回想起諸如氣味等的感官記憶。

該研究小組是基于其在1973年至2013年間開展的617項(xiàng)研究得出的這些結(jié)果。

但研究人員也表示，記憶的形式有很多種，有些時(shí)候男性在記憶方面也具有優(yōu)勢(shì)。

譬如，男性更可能找到回到車的所在位置的路，因?yàn)樗麄兩瞄L(zhǎng)記憶空間處理相關(guān)的信息。
