Neural & Synaptic Transmission The nervous system is made up of neurons and glila cells. Neurons are the basic communication links in the nervous system. Glila cell provide support for neurons and contribute to communication. Neurons normally transmit a neural impulse (an electric current) along an axon to a synapse with another neuron. The neural impulse is a brief change in neuron’s electrical charge that moves along an axon. It is an all-or-none event. Action potential triggers

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

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
