An experiment into the interference between automatic and controlled processing: A variation of the Stroop effect. Abstract The effects of completing a task which requires the use of both automatic and controlled processes was investigated through a two-process experiment designed around a variation of the Stroop effect. Previous research found that‚ when performing certain tasks‚ response time is longer when an automatic process conflicts with a controlled process‚ in this instance reading interferes

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

Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded.

The Stroop test‚ on the other hand‚ is a neuropsychological test that measures a person’s attention span in response to both visual and verbal stimulation in order to investigate individual executive functioning and potential cognitive deficits as they relate to conflict resolution and behaviors. Stroop testing is an efficient assessment for identifying appropriate and inappropriate behaviors in a conflict since it evaluates participants on levels of cognitive functioning. For example‚ according

Types of Variables Binary variable Obsevations (i.e.‚ dependent variables) that occur in one of two possible states‚ often labelled zero and one. E.g.‚ “improved/not improved” and “completed task/failed to complete task.” Categorical Variable Usually an independent or predictor variable that contains values indicating membership in one of several possible categories. E.g.‚ gender (male or female)‚ marital status (married‚ single‚ divorced‚ widowed). The categories are often assigned numerical

A Replication of the Stroop Effect Kimber-Ann Cook Broughton High School 3/26/08 Ms. Greene IB Psychology SL 1‚ 738 Abstract The Stroop (1935) effect is the inability to ignore a color word when the task is to report the ink color of that word (i.e.‚ to say "green" to the word RED in green ink). The present study investigated whether object-based processing contributes to the Stroop effect. According to this view‚ observers are unable to ignore irrelevant features of an attended object (Kahneman

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

This aspect of his study that later came to be called the “Reverse Stroop Effect” as it was seen in a comparison between pre and post tests that the subjects who had been reading the incongruent color words for the 8 days of the experiment‚ now faced an interference in word reading (from 19.4 s before to 34.8s after) however this interference disappeared after the second post test.

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.
