  1. Sample Power Point

  2. The Differing Memories of Men and Women

  3. Abstract • Our experiment tested whether women tend to remember smaller, detailed objects and if men tend to remember larger, simpler objects • Subjects looked at an “I SPY” picture for 1 minute, recalled 10 objects from memory • Data was mixed and inconclusive

  4. Introduction • Women more likely to remember/recall speech filled memories than men (Ely, 2008) • Women outperformed men in remembering locations and details of objects (University of Warwick, 2007) • Men better at abstract tasks, such as reading a map (University of Warwick, 2007) • Men have “selective memories” while women tend to remember most everything

  5. Hypothesis • If women and men were shown a picture of a mixture of simple and detailed objects, then women would remember the more detailed objects while men would remember the simpler objects. • Results will show when women and men’s memory does differ by the objects recalled from memory after looking at the picture

  6. Procedure • 10 males and 10 females selected to look at an “I SPY” picture • Each subject looked for 1 minute • After 1 minute, subject recalled from memory 10 objects from the picture • Data was collected and compared

  7. “I SPY” Picture

  8. Discussion • Our data was very mixed and did not turn out as specific as we hypothesized • Both men and women tended to remember smaller, detailed objects and larger, simpler objects • Data was inconclusive and was not able to prove our hypothesis

  9. Errors • The “I SPY” picture was very “busy” and full, making it very distracting and could have changed the data • Next time use more pictures with less objects on them (less distracting for participants) • Also, ask subjects to describe what they saw instead of recall 10 objects
