For example‚ if the participants only speak English and/or Spanish‚ the words in the Stroop task should only be in one of those two (not in Portuguese). Within each of the studies that were found‚ it appeared that the researchers appropriately modified each of the tests to obtain the best results. These three tasks are simple to conceptualize

Measurement of Heart Rate for Autonomic Nervous System Abstract: The Autonomic Nervous System lab was designed to measure reaction times by using a variety of tests that affect the heart rate. These tests were the startle‚ stroop‚ Valsalva maneuver‚ diving reflex‚ and a test of our choice. The test our group chose to measure the heart rate in response to doing a trust fall to anticipate the stress right before the fall. To begin this lab we chose a participant‚ and then hooked their finger

ATTENTION: -Lab Stroop Effect’s Theory: During the experiment‚ it was more difficult to indicate the color ink that the word was shown in when the word itself indicated a non-corresponding color. This is the Stroop Effect: the finding that people identify the color of a word more slowly when color and word are incongruent (for example‚ the word BLUE printed in a red color) than when color and word are congruent (for example the word BLUE printed in blue). But why is identifying the color of
