i dot really agree with this.
I think they were saying that the creators of this study found that on average, the women who took the test could remember the locations of items better than the men. Of course there are exceptions, but in this case, I wouldn't say it's strictly a stereotype.

They're not saying that a good memory is inherently a female trait; they're saying that female minds are more likely to remember more items' locations than male minds.
