Historical Context: 

To what extent does each gender recall details of an event? This study examines the accuracy of each gender on the basis of 6 categories: verbal vs. looking, clothes vs. appearance, and actions vs. things/surroundings. Approximately an hour following a brief interruption and announcement by a target person, a 30-item questionnaire was distributed asking detailed questions about the target person and the announcement that was made. The only statistically significant finding was that females recalled significantly more visual information when viewing another female as opposed to viewing a male. There was no other significant differences.
