Stroop (1935) showed that participants required more time in naming colours of ink rather than words even when told not to pay attention to the word name. Attention that is directed to Stroop words has been suggested to activate a word reading and color naming response that races for an outcome mechanism‚ where the faster response wins (i.e. The speed of processing theory) (Dyer‚ 1971). Suggesting that the Stroop effect might be due to the speed of processing being faster for words than colors. However

THE STROOP EFFECT AND COLOUR-RELATED WORDS ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out to test if the Stroop effect occurred when a small but significant modification to the conditions was applied to the classic Stroop experiments. Previous evidence suggested that although automatic and controlled processes can work simultaneously‚ they can cause undesired interferences. In this experiment‚ colour names were replaced by colour-related words in the Stroop condition and it was found that the Stroop effect

the first psychologists to study in detail social cognition. He believed that delving into how people made sense of their social environments was fundamental in understanding social behaviours‚ he believed people actively built models of cause and effect to find predictability and regularity which would help control their lives‚ operating like ’naive psychologists ’. Heider also believed people used this method when people perceive others and their actions. He constructed a study using animated cartoons
