Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded.

Stroop (1935) showed that participants required more time in naming colours of ink rather than words even when told not to pay attention to the word name. Attention that is directed to Stroop words has been suggested to activate a word reading and color naming response that races for an outcome mechanism‚ where the faster response wins (i.e. The speed of processing theory) (Dyer‚ 1971). Suggesting that the Stroop effect might be due to the speed of processing being faster for words than colors. However

Stroop Effect Automaticity is and important behaviour that allows frequent behaviours to be carried out unconsciously‚ while attention is diverted towards other‚ less familiar tasks.

Psychologists often put observers in different cases where they have to deal with an automatic response in order to get the desired behavior. This allows researchers to test the properties of behavior by exploring what the Stroop effect is. The Stroop Effect showed how

An experiment to investigate the Stroop effect in which participants are asked to name the colour in which a word is written‚ that word having either a colour- association or a neutral association. ABSTRACT. This study was an investigation of the cognitive processes at work during a variation of the classic Stroop test and effect‚ in which the degree of intrusion into automatic thought processes may be witnessed in a colour identification task. It was found that the rate of word identification

The Stroop Effect is a prime example of this issue. In this social experiment‚ a group of people cooperate and may falsely identify a color‚ and another unknowing person may begin to see that original color as what the others say it is. Whether this is something

interference in relation to the Stroop effect 3 Interference and facilitation are two important aspects of automatic processes. Interference refers to the range to which one process encumbers performance of another‚ whereas facilitation indicates the extent to which one process assists performance of another. Through practice and maturation‚ reading progresses from a controlled process to one that is automatic‚ lessening the demands on attentional resources. Stroop reported one of the first studies

THE STROOP EFFECT AND COLOUR-RELATED WORDS ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out to test if the Stroop effect occurred when a small but significant modification to the conditions was applied to the classic Stroop experiments. Previous evidence suggested that although automatic and controlled processes can work simultaneously‚ they can cause undesired interferences. In this experiment‚ colour names were replaced by colour-related words in the Stroop condition and it was found that the Stroop effect
