a desired conclusion or response. Interference’s effect was the main source of study behind the Stroop task (Stroop‚ 1935). The origins of the Stroop task came from the titular researcher determining to what end can contrasting stimuli‚ in this case the name of a color and the color of ink used for that word‚ interfere with one another (Stroop‚ 1935). This interference was due to automaticity (Stroop‚ 1935). Automaticity is the cognitive function of reacting to a stimulus so quickly due to the small

The Effect of Stroop Level of Interference on the Reaction Time Queens College‚ CUNY Abstract The aim of this study was to assess whether Stroop interference did indeed replicate with modern day students. Undergraduate students sample was obtained consisting of 12 females and 6 males‚ who are students in experimental psychology class. The independent variable was the condition of the stimuli with 3 levels (low‚ medium and high interference conditions). The dependable

The 30 participants of the experiment were assigned to sets 1(a condition wherein congruent color names and ink color were presented first before the incongruent set of words‚ and 2 (reverse of set 1) by random selection. Participants were called in the laboratory two at a time‚ one of them from set 1 participants and the other from set

I. INTRODUCTION The Stroop effect (sometimes called the Stroop test) is an outcome of our mental (attentional) vitality and flexibility. The effect is related to the ability of most people to read words more quickly and automatically than they can name colors. John Ridley Stroop first reported this effect in his Ph.D. dissertation published in 1935. Current research on the Stroop effect emphasizes the interference that automatic processing of words has on the more mentally effortful task of just

The stroop effect can be tested many different ways. John Ridley Stroop was the founder of the stroop effect in 1935. Some people came up with different ways to test the stroop effect. For males and females‚ the stroop effect can be different based on their perception of colors and their reaction times. The stroop effect is known by many people but they usually don’t know what it really is. The point of this experiment was to see whether different genders have a faster reaction time. “ Female

Abstract The aim of this experiment is to study autonomic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. A number of 180 random participants aged in between 18-89 were recruited to participate in this experiment. Participants were presented with a stroop experiment task sheet which consists of three parts which was the control‚ congruent and incongruent conditions. Time was taken and recorded for each participant to say out the number of stars in the control condition

An experiment investigating the effects of interference on speed estimates during the Stroop task Nicharee Thamsirisup (Nid) IB Psychology Standard Level Abstract: This experiment is to investigate the effect of color interference in speed estimates of the Stroop task which was first researched by John Ridley Stroop in 1935. This can be investigated by seeing the time difference between the task of identifying colors when color words are printed in the same color as their semantic meaning
