**Short Term Iconic Memory**
====To find out if gender affect an individual's short term iconic memory, the experiment required three boys and three girls to play the memory game called Concentration Memory Game (resource:@http://www.mathsisfun.com/games/memory/index.html). Each person was asked to record their scores and time it took them to complete the game (in seconds). The average score for the 10th grade boys was 1381 and the average time was 28 seconds. On the other hand, the average score for 10th grade girls was 1084 and the average time was 32 seconds. In comparison, boys average score was 297 higher and 4 seconds fast in time than girls. Therefore, the average scores and time for three boys and three girls showed that 10th grade boys have better short term iconic memory than girls.====

In 9th grade, We found that the boys averaged 39.33 seconds and 721.66 points for the iconic test. As for 9th grade girls, they averaged 33.66 seconds and 1247 points. This showed that in 9th grade, the girls have better iconic memory than boys.

**Short Term Echoic Memory**
====To conclude the result for echoic memory test. The results showed that for 10th grade students, boys over all scored higher then the girls. Boys averaged 9/10 while girls averaged 7.66/10 for the Echoic test.====

In 9th grade, We found that the boys averaged 8.33/10 while girls averaged 7.33

In conclusion, our experiment showed that there was really no correlation between gender and short term memory. In fact, As can be seen in the results, there was no pattern whatsoever between age, gender, and iconic/echoic memory. Something that can be said of this experiment is that, on average, girls and boys scored equally on both iconic and echoic tests. Perhaps if this test had been done in more detail and with more time, the results may have differed. Given our circumstances, there may have been many mistakes in out survey. For one, we had limited number of people that were tested. Noting the extreme scores, if we had been able to test more people, perhaps the scores may have been more consistent. Especially with the echoic test, some people had to listen in a rushed or loud setting, while others did it in the comfort of their quiet homes. Also, the nature of the survey itself may not exactly constitute echoic nor iconic memory. Yet in the end, out experiment has taught us what precautions and rules must be followed in order to carry out a successful experiment.
