Stroop Test Essay
Abstract
During this investigation, we will replicate the study by Stroop (1935) that resulted that our serial verbal reactions are affected by interference. In the investigation, 10 participants will be gathered, then will be given a paper that contains a list of color names that are written in colors that are congruent of the name of the color, they are to read the words out loud. A second paper will be given to them after the first. The second paper will contain a list of words that are again, the name of the colors, but this time the color of the words will not be congruent to the name of the colors and they are expected again to read the words out loud. The participants will be timed for both lists. The results showed that the amount …show more content…
The aim of this study was to test the effect of the development of key press response automaticity on congruity effects in a variety of Stroop tasks. Two of the participants used the standard Stroop stimuli to receive four weeks of key press practice. The participants received the standard Stroop test, Single colored letter test, and the Stroop dilution stimuli tests before and after each week of the practices in four weeks. The participants were tested on the reverse Stroop stimuli at the end. Monahan found that the incongruent stimulus processing always took longer than the congruent stimulus.

The Wilcoxin Signed-Rank test was used since it is appropriate for two sample designs that involves repeated measures. The value of ns/r is 10, while the value of W is 55. Since the value of ns/r is 10, the normal distribution is at a reasonably close approximation to the sampling distribution of W. Since the p value is 0.0054, and is lower than the significance level which is 0.05, the null hypothesis has to be rejected, therefore, the independent variable; the interference of an incongruent color of the ink to the word did affect the dependent variable which is the amount of time it took to read the list of incongruent words to the color of the
