They both do, a new study says.but in different ways.
Men and women.Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding theirway.Men look quickly at landmarksand head off in what they think is the right direction.Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.
women tend to be more detailed,said Edward Cornell.who led the study,while men tend to be a little bit faster and a little bit more intuitive.
In fact, said Cornell,sense of directionisnt one skill but two.
The first is thesurvey method.This is when you see all area from above, such as a printed map.Y0u can see，for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right.
The second skill is theroute methodThis is when you use a series of directions.You start from the hospital，then turn left，turn fight，go uphilland then you see the supermarket.
Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions.
Both work, and neither is better.
Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles.

The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants.These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths.So, womens sense of space was based on learning certain routes.
