We've all forgotten where we parked a car in a crowded shopping mall or plaza.

Now, a study says men and women have different strategies to remember where they parked.

Researchers found most women use landmarks to describe where they parked, while men were more precise and able to estimate the distance to their parked car.

However, the study also revealed that both men and women used some of the same strategies. This includes parking close to a mall entrance or parking in a favorite spot.
