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. From this repeated measures design‚

Discussion In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop first performed his original experiments on the stroop effect. It was this type of research that inspired others and prompted them to conduct research of their own in this area of study‚ and that is exactly what was done for this laboratory experiment as well. The overall hypotheses for this experiment were‚ as expected‚ conclusive with the results‚ however‚ there was a discrepancy in the hypothesis of experiment two. The comprehensive hypotheses for this experiment

Diagnosing and Treating PTSD with the Stroop Effect Yoel Alperin Riverwood International Charter School Many studies have been conducted about the Stroop Effect and about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder‚ however few discuss how the two are related. It’s not surprising that researchers don’t see the two as having any effect on each other and on the surface that is true. It’s hard to believe that a famous study explaining inhibition has any relation to a terrifying disorder caused by extreme trauma

Lateralized Stroop Effects Andrew Hanna Psychology Program Arizona State University‚ Tempe‚ AZ Introduction Through broad literature review the stroop effect can be explained through demonstration of a reaction time of a task. We built upon the basic ideas developed in the previous Stroop models of MacLeod in 1991‚ Belanger & Cimino in 2002‚ and J.R. Stroop‚ the first person to publish its significance in English in 1935(Stroop‚ 1935). In the Stroop model‚ color-words are variously presented

The Stroop Effect My science fair project was based on the Stroop Effect. The Stroop Effect was discovered by J. Ridley Stroop in the 1930’s. The Stroop Effect says that when you read a color word with the same ink as its color word‚ it will be recognized and be identified easily. When you read a color word with a different ink than its color word‚ it will not be recognized as easily. So you should be able to read the same color word with the same color ink faster than a color word with a different

The Stroop test‚ on the other hand‚ is a neuropsychological test that measures a person’s attention span in response to both visual and verbal stimulation in order to investigate individual executive functioning and potential cognitive deficits as they relate to conflict resolution and behaviors. Stroop testing is an efficient assessment for identifying appropriate and inappropriate behaviors in a conflict since it evaluates participants on levels of cognitive functioning. For example‚ according

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
