be slower than when the semantic content of a word is neutral. This slowing is known as the Stroop effect‚ from which it is concluded that an attentional bias has developed for concern-related information carried by some words. Through the routine use of controlled designs‚ it has been repeatedly shown that individuals who abuse or depend on alcohol show larger alcohol-related interference effects than individuals who do not (Johnsen et al.‚ 2004). The attentional bias towards alcohol-related is

Investigating Stroop effect using coloured-associated words and neutral words in experiment Abstract The interaction between automatic and controlled processes was examined in ‘two-process theory’. Previous research has investigated the downside of the automatic processes which is illustrated in Stroop effect. It was found that automatic process of reading have interfered with the task of naming the colour of the ink in Stroop condition. Current experiment examined this interaction further

The effects of CSI The effects of CSI/ DNA In review of CSI for the influence that it has on DNA analysis involved in investigative crimes‚ there perceptions which have surmised not only by ordinary citizen’s but also by law enforcement and jurors themselves. After all they are all just people too. Shelton (2008) points out how a complaint that “…Jurors now expect us to have a DNA test for just about every case” reveals their perception of what CSI has a main objective to do (p. 2). Such perceptions

Abstract The experiment is using 20 participants and is employing a within-participant design. The experiment will consist of two condition‚ one that is consistent with the Stoop effect‚ using colour related words‚ and condition 2 consisting of neutral coloured words. The experiment will indicate whether the participant’s response

The bystander effect‚ or bystander apathy‚ is a real problem that refers to cases in which real people do not help a victim when other people are present. The probability of people helping is utterly related to the number of bystanders. In other words‚ the greater the number of bystanders‚ the less likely it is that any one of them will help. Several variables help to explain why the bystander effect occurs. These variables include: ambiguity‚ cohesiveness and diffusion of responsibility. Many tragedies

Indifference”‚ by Elie Wiesel and the article‚ “The Murder of Kitty Genovese”‚ by Linda Melazzo both argue that a bystander’s actions play a huge part in an evil situation. They show the problems bystanders have triggered while describing the positive effects of people who took action during the situation. Both authors show how the only way to stop tragic events from occurring again is to speak up above the silent observers. The authors use ethos‚ logos‚ and pathos to persuade readers into never being

Abstract The aim of this experiment‚ modeled off Ridely Stroop’s “The Stroop Effect” was to examine the effect of incongruent ink colors on naming the color of the text out loud. This will be examined from a cognitive perspective working in conjunction with the speed of processing theory. It was predicted that the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the control condition will be significantly less than the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the experimental condition. The hypothesis
