Conclusion
Does gender affect memory? My hypothesis states that it doesn't, but I've concluded that gender does affect memory, but only by a little. The average numbers memorized by boys were 2.42 numbers and girls memorized 3.00 numbers.

Discussion
I was able to find a answer to my experiment. One trend I found during my experiment is that girls have better memory than boys. My experiment did not have any problems. There is not a stong relationship between the two varibles. Some ways I could impove this experiment is to do more stuff in the beginning so i didnt have to rush at the end.

Abstract
Does Gender Effect Memory? In my experiment I tried to find out. First I got seven girls and seven boys and tested them only once each. To test them I listed 10 numbers in a row a told every single girl in boy of the fourteen I chose and then record how many numbers they have memorized. Then I added up all the numbers memorized then divided it by the number of that gender. After you do one gender you do the same to the other. The results I got was that girls do have a better memory.
