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 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

RSAMI – GROUP II ‘Testing the competence of the Stroop test when taken by undergraduate students with pairs of words and colours that are congruous‚ incongruous and semantic.’ ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted using a semantic variation in addition to the original Stroop test to determine the difference in reaction times when applied to congruent‚ incongruent and semantic words and colours. The experiment was conducted with a sample of 20 (17 female‚ 3 male) junior freshman psychology

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

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

Abstract The research assessed in this article discusses the Stroop effect. The Stroop effect occurs when our selective attention fails and we are unable to attend to some information and ignore the rest. This study tests the Stroop effect by presenting the participant with a congruent or incongruent word and the participant is asked to type the color of the word or

Introduction. The ’Stroop Effect ’ was first introduced in 1935. It originated from the theory of automatic processes. It is clear that some processing activities become automatic as a result of prolonged practice eg. Typing‚ driving‚ etc. Automatic processes therefore are fast‚ require no attention and are unavoidable. Stroop believed that there was some evidence that word identification may be a form of an automatic process. In the experiment participants had to name the colours in which the

Twenty undergraduate students of mixed age and gender were each presented with 48 coloured words in turn. These were divided into 16 of each of 3 levels of congruence. The time required to identify the colour of each stimulus

Investigation of the Stroop effect Anonymous The current study focused on the Stroop effect‚ which is the observation that it takes longer to name the colour of the ink in which a word is printed if the word spells a different colour than it does to identify a block of colour‚ It involves the use of automatic and controlled processes. The Stroop effect was tested on participants who were part of a repeated measures groups design‚ there were two males and two females aged
