The classical work (1903–1904) on sex differences in eyewitness behavior by William Stern (1871–1938) provided evidence for a traditional view of the superior ability of males over females in this area. The present investigation replicated Stern's original research (1903–1904) with 20 male and 35 female adults. In contrast to Stern's results, no significant sex differences were found among the participants regarding accuracy of recall and resistance to false information on the short-term memory task.
