Abstract
A study with 188 participants examined sex differences in episodic memory for pictures. Participants studied positively and negatively valenced pictures and neutral pictures and memory was assessed with a recall test. Performance was higher for neutral than valenced pictures, and for positive and neutral pictures, women scored higher than men.
