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

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 the list of words was recorded per condition. The results

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

this experiment. These participants were divided into six groups based on where they were sitting. Design The Stroop Test was used in order to test the effect of interference on reaction time. This was done by using three different types of slides‚ each with either 20 words or 20 colored boxes‚ and recording how many words participants could read the color of‚ rather than the word itself. The colors used in this experiment were red‚ green‚ blue‚ purple and brown. Materials The slides were projected

The Effect of Semantic Familiarity on Immediate Free Recall Of Semantically Related or Unrelated Words Abstract Past research has shown that words that are used at a higher frequency‚ or those that are more familiar‚ and used in day-to-day life corresponds to higher immediate free recall. It has also been found that semantically related words appear to be recalled at a higher frequency as opposed to semantically unrelated items. In this study‚ we aim to investigate two variables‚ word familiarity

The materials include a visual aid for the participants to look at the different combinations of the words’ congruence and orientation. A classroom will be needed to administer the experiments which will need enough desks to seat all of the university-level participants‚ the visual aid for the slides and a timer that the TA will

The investigation into the effect of social facilitation on the performance level within the Stroop effect. Abstract The relationship between social facilitation (first discovered by Triplett in 1898) and the issue of interference within the Stroop effect were investigated. Fifty participants were recruited and took part in a repeated measures design. Participants were given a list of congruent and incongruent words in single and paired situations. The overall findings of this study suggest

Lateralized Stroop Effects Andrew Hanna Psychology Program Arizona State University‚ Tempe‚ AZ Introduction Through broad literature review the stroop effect can be explained through demonstration of a reaction time of a task. We built upon the basic ideas developed in the previous Stroop models of MacLeod in 1991‚ Belanger & Cimino in 2002‚ and J.R. Stroop‚ the first person to publish its significance in English in 1935(Stroop‚ 1935). In the Stroop model‚ color-words are variously presented

RSAMI – GROUP II ‘Testing the competence of the Stroop test when taken by undergraduate students with pairs of words and colours that are congruous‚ incongruous and semantic.’ ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted using a semantic variation in addition to the original Stroop test to determine the difference in reaction times when applied to congruent‚ incongruent and semantic words and colours. The experiment was conducted with a sample of 20 (17 female‚ 3 male) junior freshman psychology
