Are all memories alike?

The article about sex differences in memory talks about how women have better verbal episodic memory such as remembering words, pictures, objects or every day events. Men are better in remembering visuospatial memory, which is remembering symbols or non-linguistic information. This means the men can remember their way out of a place more easily. However women are better remembering faces specially of those as female.

The cultural difference in memory article talks about how depending of the culture, your first memory would be earlier on then others. In some cultures memory is easily remembered do to the fact that the parents stimulate the memory of their child by telling their kids stories of their childhood. This makes them remember better than others.
