Sex differences in academic strengths contribute to gender segregation in education and occupation: A longitudinal examination of 167,776 individuals (2017, unknown): “For example, women often outperform men on reading comprehension (Guiso, Monte, Sapienza, & Zingales, 2008; Hedges & Nowell, 1995) and episodic memory (Herlitz & Rehnman, 2008; Weber, Skirbekk, Freund, & Herlitz, 2014).”
Sex differences and the own-gender bias in face recognition: A meta-analytic review (2013, background): “…et al., 2000), women are better at recognizing and interpreting facial expressions (Hall, 1978), and women outperform men on many episodic memory tasks (Herlitz & Rehnman, 2008)*all factors in line with the notion that there should be sex differences favouring women in face recognition tasks.”
Sex Differences in Cognitive Functions (2009, result): “…cognition did not find sex differences in memory, many more recent studies have found sex differences favoring women in episodic memory tasks (see Herlitz & Rehnman, 2008, for an overview; Herlitz, Airaksinen, & Nordström, 1999; Herlitz et al., 1997; Herlitz & Yonker, 2002; Lewin, Wolgers, &…”
Sex influences on the neurobiology of learning and memory. (2009, background): “been argued that women have a general episodic advantage (Herlitz et al. 1997; Herlitz and Rehnman 2008).”
