The investigation of the controlled and the automatic processes employing the Stroop effect experiment. Abstract The interference between the controlled and the automatic processes was observed in the Stroop effect type experiment using two different conditions. The original Stroop effect experiment concluded that the participants will find it more difficult to complete the reading task of the words related to colour meaning in comparison to the reading task of non-colour related words. The

How do ripple effects escalate the problem of the lost customer? (Timm 14). A ripple effect is defined as what happens when‚ “… upset customers tell other people” (Timm 8).

It is estimated that

The Stroop Effect: Automatic and controlled processes and the time taken to identify colours and words Abstract The aim of the experiment was test whether automatic processing could affect a colour related task. Previous research has found that the response time of reading the colour of the ink of colour associated words was greater than reading the colour of the ink of neutral words. The experiment retested the Stroop effect to measure the incursion of automatic processing. The results showed
