Women show advantage in object-location memory

Why do men have so much trouble finding everyday items in their own homes? It’s a common sitcom trope, but is there actually something to it. This week, for the sake of the women in our lives, we dig into the research to find out if “male refrigerator blindness” is real, explore if it dates all the way back to our hunter-gatherer roots, and find out what we can do about it. 

Our guest this week is Dr. Albert Postma, leader of the Memory & Space Lab at Utrecht University.
