In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were

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

turns Conclusion: Acetylcholine plays an important role in creating a memory of the maze. * Strengths - research lie in its design and its application; use of an experimental method with a control group made it possible to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between levels of acetylcholine and memory * Limitations – questionable to what extent these findings can be generalised to humans; assumed that memory processes are the same for all animals.
