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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
3. La practicidad del articulo es bastante limitada, basicamente a estudios similares.<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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.<br />

It is an interesting and well-presented article on gender differences in a memory task.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, some aspects must be considered before the final acceptance for publication.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I also suggest to report analysis of the statistical power you expect to achieve with your sample.<br />
<br />
In the discussion you report researched that arrived in no gender differences in memory tasks. You should highlight those researches in the introduction too.<br />
