Jun Okubo September 28‚ 2012 IBH Psychology Mr. Altmann Introduction In the 1930s‚ J. Ridley Stroop discovered a strange phenomenon. He asked his participants to name the colors of the words. In first trial‚ the color and the words matched. However‚ in the second trial‚ the colors and the words did not match. He found out that when the color and the words did not match‚ it took longer to name all the colors. There are several theories as to why there is a huge delay. The first theory is

The experiment tests whether conflict takes place between the automatic process of reading a word and the controlled process of naming the ink colour of the word by replicating a version of the Stroop effect. A sample of 20 volunteering participants‚ 10 men and 10 women‚ aged 18-69‚ took part in the experiment. Participants were given two conditions‚ one list with colour-related distractor words and one list with colour-neutral words. For each participant‚ time necessary to name the ink colour of

Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

Results and discussion INTRODUCTION The Stroop effect is a classic cognitive psychology experiment discovered and first studied by J. Ridley Stroop 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 e.g. 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

Abstract The experiment is using 20 participants and is employing a within-participant design. The experiment will consist of two condition‚ one that is consistent with the Stoop effect‚ using colour related words‚ and condition 2 consisting of neutral coloured words. The experiment will indicate whether the participant’s response

The Stroop Effect has been widely researched. It explains how a cognitive process might interfere with another cognitive process (MacLeod‚ 1991). This effect works because associations already made in the brain inhibit recall abilities for new associations (Stroop‚ 1935). The Stroop Effect is relevant because it can explain what cognitive processes are automatic compared to controlled processes. An automatic process is naturally fast and does not need conscious attention to be accomplished‚

This study was conducted to test if the Horse Race Model is a valid reason for the Stroop effect as there has been some conflict in past research

Exploring the Stroop Effect by using numbers Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. This experiment was conducted by recruiting 8 participants (4 males and 4 females)‚ who are working in a head-office of Save the Children Organization in Yangon‚ selected by an opportunistic sample. Participants were presented with a Stroop-experiment-task sheet which consists of two parts which was the congruent

Have you ever wondered how people’s brains mix things up that their not supposed to‚ or how they sometimes have a brain farts‚ well this activity does that exact thing. The “Stroop Effect” is a spectacular phenomenon that makes a person say the color of a word when that exact word is also a color. Although people may believe it is easy it is a bit more difficult than believed to be. This is due to the fact that the word itself has a giant impact on the ability People have to actually say the word
