Alike Memories???

Agneta Herlitz and Jenny Rehnman thought about the theory of sex affecting on memory. They made many tests lead to prove that sex interferes with episodic memory, these tests also proved to favor females. Results also confirmed woman are better when relating to verbal episodic memory this is because women are better in remembering words or pictures.
Another test consisted in presenting faces to three groups. This resulted in finding how women are able to remember female faces much better. Other studies also verified women are better when there is no verbal processing. The outcomes show how memories between sexes aren’t the same.
Cultural background also influences a lot in terms of memory. Studies made found the average age of distinction in memory has to do with the different cultures. A psychologist at the University of New Hampshire called Michelle Leichtman, studied childhood memory says that culture influences deeply when dealing with memory.

Memories passed on from parents to their children manipulate how children will then recall these. Kids who grow up in a culture that talks little about autobiographical history will probably forget their childhood memories; rather than the ones whose cultures appreciate their history or memories and events that would actually remember them and pass them on with the same eagerness.

In 1994 a psychologist called Mary Mullen made the first researches that relate the ages of first memories between cultures. This study consisted of questions to caucasians and asians to illustrate their earliest memories. The average of asian students’ events was six months apart from the Caucasian students'. This probably means that caucasians have a better relation with their past.

Ones sex and its cultural and environmental traditions definitely influences ones memory.
