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

The Stroop Effect "The idea of linking color and behavior is reasonable enough. Anyone who has ever felt blue‚ seen red‚ blacked out‚ or turned green knows we’re prone to make emotional associations with different shades."- Winifred Gallagher Problem Question (or project title): The Stroop Effect - If you are slower in the word identification process time‚ reading comprehension will be more difficult for you. Can we trick the brain? The Stroop Effect is an important process that focuses on attention

experiment was designed to test the effects of five liquid and five solid substances/mixtures on the freezing and boiling points of water. It was hypothesized that if we tested five liquid and five solid substances/mixtures then the results would show that the solids would have a greater affect. Using these guidelines the experimentation was completed and the data was recorded. It was determined that the hypothesis was supported. Salt had by far the greatest effect on the freezing and boiling point

you look if you can find the right sequence. When you are looking for patterns there is at least one for anything. Math can be very important and people can start caring more about it if they know it is all around them. Introduction In my science fair project I am going to try to find mathematical patterns in nature. The main pattern I am looking for is for the Fibonacci sequence‚ which consist of the numbers in the following order: 1‚1‚2‚3‚5‚8‚13‚21‚34… so forth and so on always adding the

names Mitchelle Suarez PSYC. 3450 SUMMER 2014 PROF. MEREDITH ABSTRACT The Stroop experiment focuses on the interference of a person’s reaction time on a given task. 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

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

Science Fair Project 2014/2015 Onyx/Jasper/Jade/Quartz Classes This year’s Science Fair Project involves exploring careers in the field of Science. Each student will “become a Scientist” of some type and create an experiment that fits the type of Scientist that he or she has chosen. Students will be responsible for maintaining his or her own Science Notebook AND creating a display board to showcase his or her experiment. Both items are due on Tuesday‚ February 24‚ 2015. Oral reports will also

Stroop Effect CogLab Report Stroop Effect CogLab Report The Stroop effect is a test that demonstrates a decrease in reaction time that occurs when the brain receives conflicting information. When sensory information conflicts‚ a processing delay occurs in the brain; this is interference. If a specific color is paired with its corresponding word then those two pieces of information are compatible. If the information conflicts then the individual is forced to make a decision. It is hypothesized
