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

n this study‚ the Stroop effect experiment will be carried out on matching and mismatching test. The Stroop effect experiment was named after Ridely Stroop‚ published in 1935‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the difference in reaction time of reading the name of the coloured words and naming the ink of the colour. Not only does it record the reaction time‚ but it also aims to measure individuals focused attention‚ learning and memory (Stroop‚ 1935). However‚ when reading through

process. One of the major studies conducted that gives results to this phenomenon is called The Stroop Effect. What’s interesting about this sensation is that it is virtually impossible to interfere with its processes. The Stroop Effect was conducted under the watch of J. Ridley Stroop in 1935‚ and is still widely used as a means of understanding the process of automaticity. An example of the Stroop Effect is located in the picture to the left.

The Stroop Effect Experiment In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop conducted the original experiments of the stroop effect. The stroop effect is an effect that occurs when individuals attempt to name the color of words that spell out a conflicting color. Stroop reported an interference effect when individuals were asked to report the color of words presented to them. Stroop collected his data by showing his participants a sheet of paper with printed words on it. He then asked his participant’s to name the

Monahan Central Michigan University‚ monah1js@mail.cmich.edu Abstract Automaticity‚ both reading and response‚ response competition‚ translation models‚ and the imbalance/uncertainty model of the Stroop effect were investigated. Two participants received four weeks of key press practice using standard Stroop stimuli. Tests of RT to standard Stroop‚ Single colored letter‚ and Stroop dilution stimuli were conducted before and after each week of

Certain tasks can be performed with more accuracy due to the fact that our brain becomes conditioned to react automatically after exposure of the stimuli. In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were

Our brain tends to manages this by responding to one or more input(stimulus) at a time such is listening to music while watching tv‚ or ignoring inputs such as the background noise from the tv.

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
