 * THE STUDY OF MEMORY BETWEEN BOYS AND GIRLS**


 * ABSTRACT**

The purpose of this study was to determine memory in general and weather boys or girls have better memory. The brain is like a super computer it is very fragile and can get hurt easily and has many parts. The experiments where testing whether boys and girls could memorize things better, it was also testing memory with distractions. Overall girls did better and distractions help. Many parts of the brain help, but it has worked in strange ways between genders.

Boys have a little bit to go before they have as good memory as girls in many fields. This data is important because now people know how their brain works and how it reacts in different situations. The hypothesis that girls would do better overall was right but for music the prediction was way off, it was said that rock would do better instead of the exact opposite, and the prediction for distractions was wrong. For a follow up experiment doing memory tests with different parts of the body in cold water vs. warm water could be interesting.
