43 people gave written descriptions of a 3-min. video they had viewed of an ambiguous, staged scene. Accuracy scores were determined based on the number of correct items listed minus the number of wrong items listed. The finding of higher scores for the 19 women than for the 24 men is consistent with previous research on gender and memory.
