Reviewer A:

1. Originalidad: sin duda la investigación es novedosa pues se hace sobre un aspecto poco estudiado en ese tema: las diferencias de genero, sul aporte  considero tiene una significación limitada a investigaciones que versen en esa tematica, en todo caso abre más interrogantes y posibilidades de futuras investigaciones en ese tema puntual. 

2. El articulo está basado en una investigación realizada con metodología cuantitativa, lo cual es adecuado al tema que expone, la descrpción del procedimiento y sujetos es amplia, las técnicas de muestreo, recolección y analisis de datos son adecuadas al estudio; sus resultados han sido discutidos a la luz de la bibliografia presentada.

3. La practicidad del articulo es bastante limitada, basicamente a estudios similares.

4.  Los autores han realizado una  adecuada revisión de la literatura existente sobre el tema presentado y han basado en la misma la presentación de su investigación

5. El manuscrito está escrito sin errores gramaticales ni  de ortografia, hay una secuencia lógica en su presentación; sin embargo, las conclusiones no son lo suficientemente claras, y las referencias bibliograficas estan en un solo bloque, sin diferenciar primarias de secundarias.

Reviewer B:

It is an interesting and well-presented article on gender differences in a memory task.

Nevertheless, some aspects must be considered before the final acceptance for publication.

In the introduction, the biological hypothesis for gender differences in memory tasks are presented without highlighting the huge controversy in the field. I suggest nuance that section and include social hypothesis as well. Mainly due to the fact that you are reporting negative findings.

I also suggest to report analysis of the statistical power you expect to achieve with your sample.

In the discussion you report researched that arrived in no gender differences in memory tasks. You should highlight those researches in the introduction too.
