研究了言语和视觉空间能力对情景记忆性别差异的影响。100名男性和100名女性，年龄在20-40岁之间，参与了一系列的言语和视觉空间任务。情景记忆在任务中进行了评估，在或多或少的程度上，是口头或视觉空间的性质。结果表明，女性擅长口头生产任务，男性在心理旋转任务上表现出上级水平。此外，女性在大多数情景记忆任务中的表现往往高于男性。两者合计，结果表明，（a）女性在大多数言语情景记忆任务和一些具有视觉空间成分的情景记忆任务上的表现高于男性，（B）女性在情景记忆任务上的较高表现不能完全解释为她们在言语生产任务上的上级表现。
The impact of verbal and visuospatial ability on sex differences in episodic memory was investigated. One hundred men and 100 women, 20-40 years old, participated in a series of verbal and visuospatial tasks. Episodic memory was assessed in tasks that, to a greater or lesser extent, were verbal or visuospatial in nature. Results showed that women excelled in verbal production tasks and that men performed at a superior level on a mental rotation task. In addition, women tended to perform at a higher level than men on most episodic memory tasks. Taken together, the results demonstrated that (a) women perform at a higher level than men on most verbal episodic memory tasks and on some episodic memory tasks with a visuospatial component, and (b) women's higher performance on episodic memory tasks cannot fully be explained by their superior performance on verbal production tasks.
