Stroop Effect CogLab Report Stroop Effect CogLab Report The Stroop effect is a test that demonstrates a decrease in reaction time that occurs when the brain receives conflicting information. When sensory information conflicts‚ a processing delay occurs in the brain; this is interference. If a specific color is paired with its corresponding word then those two pieces of information are compatible. If the information conflicts then the individual is forced to make a decision. It is hypothesized

The Effect of Light Intensity The effect of different light wavelengths was tested in the following experiment. The rate of photosynthesis can be affected depending on the light treatment it receives. With the aid of DPIP acting as NADPH in photosynthesis‚ it was possible to observe the reaction as it took place. Samples were created with dark‚ 24 cm‚ 30 cm‚ and 49 cm light treatments. The absorbance was measured in five-minute intervals for each sample and recorded in an appropriate table

The investigation into the effect of social facilitation on the performance level within the Stroop effect. Abstract The relationship between social facilitation (first discovered by Triplett in 1898) and the issue of interference within the Stroop effect were investigated. Fifty participants were recruited and took part in a repeated measures design. Participants were given a list of congruent and incongruent words in single and paired situations. The overall findings of this study suggest

Stroop Test Applied to College Students Serah J Narine Binghamton University METHODS Materials The materials that were needed for the experiment were minimal. The materials include a visual aid for the participants to look at the different combinations of the words’ congruence and orientation. A classroom will be needed to administer the experiments which will need enough desks to seat all of the university-level participants‚ the visual aid for the slides and a timer that the TA will

RSAMI – GROUP II ‘Testing the competence of the Stroop test when taken by undergraduate students with pairs of words and colours that are congruous‚ incongruous and semantic.’ ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted using a semantic variation in addition to the original Stroop test to determine the difference in reaction times when applied to congruent‚ incongruent and semantic words and colours. The experiment was conducted with a sample of 20 (17 female‚ 3 male) junior freshman psychology

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 aim of this experiment was to replicate the Primacy effect‚ which investigates the effects of ascending and descending performances on attributions of intellectual ability‚ illustrating that individuals’ perception of another individual is influenced by their first impression of that person to the detriment of all subsequent impressions. The design included independent groups‚ and the 46 participants over 16 years old (25 males and 21 females) were chosen through convenience sampling. The latter

Running head: STROOP EFFECT STUDY ON BILINGUALS Comparison of Stroop Effect on Turkish and English Bilinguals and the Effect of Proficiency Level on English In partial fulfilment of the requirements for Statistics and Research Methods 5 June 2008 Abstract People identify the color of a word faster if the word color is congruent with the ink color‚ than if the color is incongruent with the ink color. This is called Stroop Effect. In the present study the aim was to find whether language

Twenty undergraduate students of mixed age and gender were each presented with 48 coloured words in turn. These were divided into 16 of each of 3 levels of congruence. The time required to identify the colour of each stimulus

An experiment to investigate a variation of the Stroop effect and how it works on non colour related words. Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to investigate a variation of the Stroop effect. The experiment will include non colour related words as well as colour related words and these words will be written in colours that are not related to the words written. There are 20 participants and they will be shown both conditions in different order and they are required to say the colour of
