Abstract:The delayed match-to-sample task was adopted to explore the gender differences during face
recognition in different facial gender and races in the present study. The results showed that: (1) The accuracy rate
for female face recognition was higher than male face in all participants. (2) All participants performed the
advantage for female face recognition in different races. To be specific, the advantage for Chinese (own-race)
female face recognition was appeared on faster response time. For Caucasus (other-race) female face recognition,
however, it was performed on higher accuracy rate. (3) The race factor played a important role on the advantage of
facial cognition in female participants. In conclusion, the face recognition is influenced by the interaction of facial
information and gender of participants.
