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

Attention : The effects of automatic and controlled processing Abstract The theory of attention was focused on within the experiment‚ using a modified version of the Stroop effect. The stroop effect suggests that automatic and controlled processing can conflict with each other making it difficult to focus on a particular task. Participants were asked to look at two sets of stimuli which contained words written in coloured ink‚ colour related words and neutral words. Participants were asked

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‚

In the first meiotic division chromosomes align in homologous pairs. Points of contact form between members of the same homologous pair. The points of contact or crossing over between members of a homologous pair are the chiasmata. 3. The homologous pairs move to the equator of the cell. Equal lengths of the

Have you ever wondered how people’s brains mix things up that their not supposed to‚ or how they sometimes have a brain farts‚ well this activity does that exact thing. The “Stroop Effect” is a spectacular phenomenon that makes a person say the color of a word when that exact word is also a color. Although people may believe it is easy it is a bit more difficult than believed to be. This is due to the fact that the word itself has a giant impact on the ability People have to actually say the word

Abstract The aim of this experiment‚ modeled off Ridely Stroop’s “The Stroop Effect” was to examine the effect of incongruent ink colors on naming the color of the text out loud. This will be examined from a cognitive perspective working in conjunction with the speed of processing theory. It was predicted that the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the control condition will be significantly less than the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the experimental condition. The hypothesis

This aspect of his study that later came to be called the “Reverse Stroop Effect” as it was seen in a comparison between pre and post tests that the subjects who had been reading the incongruent color words for the 8 days of the experiment‚ now faced an interference in word reading (from 19.4 s before to 34.8s after) however this interference disappeared after the second post test. (22.0 s) (C.M. MacLeod‚ 1991; Stroop‚ 1935). This can be attributed to the automaticity theory‚ which states that

alcohol and those who drink socially has been explored using a range of investigatory paradigms. One of the approaches used was the emotional Stroop paradigm (Williams et al.‚ 1996). When the word meaning and ink color are different the color naming is found to be slower than when the semantic content of a word is neutral. This slowing is known as the Stroop effect‚ from which it is concluded that an attentional bias has developed for concern-related information carried by some words. Through the routine
