Both, but it depends on the exact person and the types of memory involved. Men may remember technical details better while women may remember social details better. However, that is only a basic template and should not be generalized. A portion of the differences relate to the hormones present. Transsexual women, for instance, tend to report that on estrogen therapy, they have more difficulty with math problems or plotting routes, but have some improvement in remembering names and social details. Differences in prefrontal cortex function tend to be partially responsible, and there are gender differences in that portion of the brain.
