Research study notice: Seeking South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) participants to explore a possible route to better understanding how we recognize and learn faces from one's own ethnicity background and other ethnicity backgrounds (known as the other-race effect). For around one hour of your time, you will earn a $20 gift card!

The study involves matching photographs of different people together by viewing multiple photographs of a faces. This involves trying to find a different photograph of the correct person in a selection of 30 different people. With important applied implications for verification of identity, this is a fun learning experience with compensation for participants. 

More details about the study will be emailed to interested students who self-identify as South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) - these details are provided in an information letter. Each interested student is advised to read over the letter before proceeding to view a linked schedule, which shows when the study is being run. Please note that this study is taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.
