The study of incongruence and interference: A Stroop Recreation
Australian College of Applied Psychology
Abstract
The original Stroop Experiment performed by J.R Stroop in 1935 opened the field for experiments to research interference and its effects, causes and implications. This study looks at the Stroop findings in modern setting to get a new perspective on the causes of interference. 41 first year uni students were asked to participate in a direct recreation of the original Stroop Experiment, their results were screened for outliers and two extreme scores were normalised, the data was subjected to a two tailed t-test to display the difference between scores, in seconds between two sets of two stimuli that were used in Stroops initial experiment. Results for both experiments returned a p = 0.000 which closely match those
