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 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

to what extent and can this be consciously controlled. The experiment used for this research was the stroop effect. Previous research found that the stroop condition always had a slower response time. In this present experimental task‚ the two conditions were slightly manipulated and the result showed that there was significant effect on the response time‚ providing further support for the stroop effect.

Article 1: Color–object interference in young children: A Stroop effect in children 3½–6½ years old By Meredith B. Prevor and Adele Diamond (December 12‚ 2007) The Stroop color–word task cannot be administered to children who are unable to read. However‚ our color–object Stroop task can. One hundred and sixty-eight children of 3½–6½ years (50% female; 24 children at each 6-month interval) were shown line drawings of familiar objects in a color that was congruent (e.g.‚ an orange carrot)‚ incongruent

The Effect of Varying Levels of Interference on Response Time to Naming Ink Colors The Stroop effect is the response latency due stimulus interference (Wikipedia). John Ridley Stroop’s experiment in 1935 had two different stimuli paradigms: low and high interference. The low interference stimuli consisted of “Reading color names printed in black” (RCNb) and naming the color of solid

TWO-PROCESS THEORIES AND STROOP EFFECT: STUDYING THE EFFECT OF COLOUR CORRELATED WORDS (IV) vs. NEUTRAL WORDS WHEN RECORDING RESPONSE TIMES (DV) FOR IDENTIFYING THE INK COLOUR IN WHICH A WORD IS PRINTED. Abstract The idea of two-process theories and the Stroop effect are assessed in this experiment. The intention is to look for a predicted pattern between the response times of two separate conditions; one using a list of words that are colour related‚ such as “lemon” and another list of words which

colour identification task from the Stroop effect. 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 has been affected by a conflict of difference. The phenomena known as ‘The Stroop Effect’ theorize that automatic process

The Road Not Taken: a present made of the past’s little delusions In the poem‚ “The Road Not Taken‚” Frost seemingly presents the reader with a classic problem‚ but reframed in a literal forest scene. The problem is‚ how does one know they have chosen the right “path” on their journey through life? That is a question that haunts many‚ but Frost wryly notes that the question doesn’t really signify much of anything‚ as it is human nature to glorify the past‚ wrap it in a protective nostalgia‚ and

The Third and Final Continent Similar to the narrator’s experiences‚ the lives of Lahiri and her parents not only span decades but also continents: Asia‚ Europe‚ and North America. Lahiri was born in England‚ raised in America‚ and traveled often to India during her childhood (Wcislo 2001). The story parallels closely with her family’s history: a father who worked as a librarian and a mother who meticulously adhered to Indian traditions regardless of where or how long she lived (Wcislo 2001).
