Abstrakt: Objective: Memory is formed on the basis of sensory stimuli perceived. Vision and Auditory sense are the most common modes to form visual and auditory memory. This study was planned to find the preferred sense route for the formation of memory, between the two genders.
Method: In the present cross sectional experimental study, 40 male and 40 female subjects between 18-20 years of age were tested for visual & auditory memory.
Results: Results: The results suggested statistically significant higher scores of ‘Memory Test’ in women in comparison to men (F479 3.312, p=<0.001). The mean score for memory subtests was best for black & white pictures followed by colored pictures, visual words, visual digits, auditory digits and auditory words in that order in men, whereas in women, mean score was best for colored pictures followed by black & white pictures, auditory words, auditory digits, visual words and visual digits.
Conclusion: It may be concluded that in men visual sense and in women auditory sense are more effectual for the formation of memory.
