The Effect of the Method of Sorting on Response Time Sreeja Mani Professor Jeffery Hamelin Psychology 213 W 9/24/2010 The Effect of the Method of Sorting on Response Time The purpose of this study is to see whether response time changes when the card sorting condition is manipulated. The more complex the condition is when sorting cards‚ the higher the response time and vice versa.

Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

Results and discussion INTRODUCTION The Stroop effect is a classic cognitive psychology experiment discovered and first studied by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935.It originated from the theory of automatic processes. It is clear that some processing activities become automatic as a result of prolonged practice e.g. Typing‚ driving‚ etc. Automatic processes therefore are fast‚ require no attention and are unavoidable. Stroop believed that there was some evidence that word identification may be a form

The Stroop Effect has been widely researched. It explains how a cognitive process might interfere with another cognitive process (MacLeod‚ 1991). This effect works because associations already made in the brain inhibit recall abilities for new associations (Stroop‚ 1935). The Stroop Effect is relevant because it can explain what cognitive processes are automatic compared to controlled processes. An automatic process is naturally fast and does not need conscious attention to be accomplished‚

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.

This study was conducted to test if the Horse Race Model is a valid reason for the Stroop effect as there has been some conflict in past research

Exploring the Stroop Effect by using numbers Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. This experiment was conducted by recruiting 8 participants (4 males and 4 females)‚ who are working in a head-office of Save the Children Organization in Yangon‚ selected by an opportunistic sample. Participants were presented with a Stroop-experiment-task sheet which consists of two parts which was the congruent

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 Maitram Do Queens College City University of New York Abstract This is a replication of Stroop’s (1935) investigation on the effect of interfering color stimuli on response time upon naming font colors. This study investigates the difference in speed of performance in completing three conditions - low‚ medium‚ and high with regards to the interference levels. It was hypothesized that at least one mean will differ
