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

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

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 routine

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. (22.0 s) (C.M. MacLeod‚ 1991; Stroop‚ 1935). This can be attributed to the automaticity theory‚ which states that

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.

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

It’s not surprising that researchers don’t see the two as having any effect on each other and on the surface that is true. It’s hard to believe that a famous study explaining inhibition has any relation to a terrifying disorder caused by extreme trauma

The Stroop effect is a phenomenon wherein individuals take longer to name the color of words printed in a non-matching color‚ such as the word blue printed in red ink‚ than when the words are printed in the same color as the word designates‚ such as the word blue printed in blue ink.; J. R. Stroop first described this in 1935 (Goldstein‚ 2011). Stroop found that this effect occurs when the names of the words cause a competing response‚ which then leads to a slower response to the target (Goldstein
