Question
For this assignment, you participated in an online experiment on facial recognition. Using the data that I gave you and your statistics from the analysis, you will write a short lab report (2-3 pages) in APA style consisting of an Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and References.
Doing the experiment online is only to give you an idea of how the experiment works. You will write the mini lab report as if you were the researcher who conducted the experiment.
You may use this article by Rehman and Herlitz (2007) as a reference in your report: Facial Recognition Article

It was observed that women are more kind of familiar with the same sex faces. Being familiar , was a way of identifying the faces of same gender for women.
