The specific heat (or caloric capacity) is BY DEFINITION the quantity heat ONE KG of a certain substance can absorb or can give away when cooled or heated by ONE DEGREE of temperature.
This means that for the same the mass the specific heat is smaller for the object having a bigger temperature difference (or in other words that cools quickly).
