Women can remember faces better than men

Researchers at McMaster University said women look more at new 

faces than men do‚ which allows them to create a richer and more 

superior memory. 

A new study has found that women can remember faces better than men‚ in part because they 
spend more time studying facial features without even knowing it.

The findings by researchers from McMaster University in Canada may answer long standing
questions about why some people can remember faces easily while others quickly forget someone
 they have just met.

Researchers at McMaster University said women look more at new faces than men do‚ which allows
them to create a richer and more superior memory.

Eye tracking technology was used to monitor where study participants looked be it eyes‚ nose or
mouth while they were shown a series of randomly selected faces on a computer screen. Each face
was assigned a name that participants were asked to remember. One group was tested over the course
 of one day‚ another group tested over the course of four days.

Researchers found that women fixated on the features far more than men.
