Diagnosing and Treating PTSD with the Stroop Effect Yoel Alperin Riverwood International Charter School Many studies have been conducted about the Stroop Effect and about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder‚ however few discuss how the two are related. 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

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

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

process. One of the major studies conducted that gives results to this phenomenon is called The Stroop Effect. 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. He observed that people who are given a word list that

Discussion In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop first performed his original experiments on the stroop effect. It was this type of research that inspired others and prompted them to conduct research of their own in this area of study‚ and that is exactly what was done for this laboratory experiment as well. The overall hypotheses for this experiment were‚ as expected‚ conclusive with the results‚ however‚ there was a discrepancy in the hypothesis of experiment two. The comprehensive hypotheses for this experiment

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

Introduction Effects of Interference on Visual and Verbal Associations The discovery of The Stroop Effect by J.Ridley Stroop in the 1930’s has gave birth to many new theories to how the brain works. The Stroop Effect by psychology terms is the demonstration of reaction time while performing a task. The findings of The Stroop Effect demonstrate how difficult it can be to only concentrate at one thing. J. Ridley Stroop conducted two experiments himself. In the first experiment‚ he compared time

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
