Stroop Color Word Test
Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to examine differences in gender performance among male and females and age on the Stroop interference effect. Experimental psychology students of eight respondents, 3 males and 5 females, completed the task in which they participated in a Stroop Colour-Word Test. The condition is the ability to recognize the colours, the performance difference between male and female, the performance difference between age, the reaction time and the effect of colour word interference in order for the participants to speak out the color ink of the words in each condition. Participants responded slower in the incongruent condition as the word did not match with the ink colour. There were also gender and age differences in the reaction times taken in the Stroop Colour-Word Test.
Introduction
To begin with, the standard Stroop Color-Word test which also known as Serial Colour-Word Test, is first introduced by Stroop (1935) in his study. In fact, the Stroop colour interference task is among the most extensively studied paradigms in cognitive psychology. In other words, stroop test is a test used to test human brain in terms of colour …show more content…
Provided that Alansari (2004) revealed that competition plays a role in Stroop task given that the levels of competition between males and females are different. Furthermore, the results of the test may depend on whether or not the individuals take their academic works seriously. Apart from that, the age also has impact on the incongruent word/color test showed that older adults were slower to respond. In conducting this study, the researcher has focused on the ability to recognize the colours, the performance difference between male and female, the performance difference between age, the reaction time and the effect of color word interference. This is similar with Oderre, Van Heuven, & Conklin
