Gender Variation in Short Term Auditory and Visual Memory
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Memory is a collection or storage of numerous information learnt by experiences. Visual and auditory senses are responsible for the new short term memory formation. Objectives: The present study was planned to evaluate auditory and visual short term memory status in healthy young adults of Uttarakhand in 60 subjects (30 male and 30female subjects), 17-21 years of age. Results: The results suggested Statistically significant higher scores of “Memory Test “ in women in comparison to men.(p<0.001).Mean score of memory test was better for visual memory than auditory memory in men and a similar result was obtained in women. Further scores of visual memory were better in women than men and highly statistically significant. Conclusion: Young males and females of Garhwal region on short term memory tests have shown better results for Visual Memory than Auditory Memory and further females have given better results than males for both Auditory Memory and Visual Memory.
