Sex Differences in the Correlation of Memory Span with Scan and Other Episodic Memory Tasks.

Longstreth, Langdon E.; Madigan, Stephen

Intelligence, v6 n1 p37-56 Jan-Mar 1982

Three studies of college students found a sex difference in the correlation of memory scanning rate, short- and long-term components of free recall, and word recognition with memory span. Findings are discussed in terms of prior work and a theory presented to account for the obtained sex differences. (Author/RD)
