My Experience With The Stroop Effect

see how the Stroop effect changes with age. The reason why I chose the project is because I get motion sick often. Motion sickness is a lot like the Stroop effect in that when you get motion sick the hairs in your ears are telling you that you are moving but your eyes see that you are not moving. In the Stroop effect you see the color that you are supposed to read but your brain is telling you to read the word. The effect was named after John Ridley Stroop, who published the effect in 1935 in

The differences between male and female brains and how the work have been a very controversial subject in the science world even in present time. In my project featuring the science of Neurology, the study of the human brain; I will undergo an experiment to see whether male or female have a faster sensory response time. Sensory response, or ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), is the response in the brain sorting gathered information of sensory such as touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight

Falling in love is an experience that involves very intense affective and cognitive changes including euphoria and overwhelming joy, increased arousal and energy, emotional dependency on the partner, craving for emotional union with the beloved, and obsessional thoughts about and focused attention on the special other. (Steenbergen et al., 2014,). Discovering how love develops for human species have been studied from researches through different studies. Each study aimed to prove their theses, that

Abstract Substantial research has been done on the positive effects of long-term meditation practices on the promotion of cognitive functions. However, the effects of brief meditation practices have not been as thoroughly researched. Accordingly, this study will further investigate the effects of short-term mindfulness-based training (MT) on the multiple traits of attentional processing. I hypothesize that brief MT can have similar results to that of long-term practices, indicating that meta-cognition

Through the use of a Stroop task, subjects were tested on their reaction times when answering the direction of an arrow stimulus with either random words or dissimilar directions written across it. The incongruent directions were to cause cognitive interference, resulting in slower reaction times. Evidence suggests that regular video game players may be less affected by this form of interference. Findings indicate that the Stroop task did not create an interference effect, regardless of video game

Synesthesia is a condition in which a typical sensory experience is stimulated and accompanied by an additional sensory experience. Over sixty variations of the condition are documented, with an estimated 4.4% of the population experiencing at least one form of it. Each person’s sensory associations are unique, even within one type of synesthesia, and the associations are typically stable through time (Dutton, 2015). The most common type of synesthesia is known as grapheme-color synesthesia, in

Introduction By the emerge of globalization, being a bilingual is no longer a novelty experience any more. It is quiet normal in nowadays that people encounter bilinguals in their daily bases. There is a common sense that bilinguals should have certain abilities prior to monolinguals. Bialystok (2001) suggested that “the constant managing 2 competing languages enhance the executive function”. Moreover, her another study(Bialystok, 2004) indicated that bilingual participants also responded more rapidly

Since the inception of the internet and search engines, information has been accessible to us instantly. Although instant access to information is a desirable advancement in technology, it comes with questionable consequences. From his own personal experience, Carr explains that since this invention, his brain feels as if it has been tinkered with. Carr explains that his brain does not work the way it used to, that it’s very hard for him to become engrossed in books, articles, or essays. As he continued

Introduction Learning a new language today is the key of several doors tomorrow. It involves an obvious amount of effort for anyone, either a child or an adult, but the younger the person, the easier it is – after all, does anyone remember learning to speak in his or her mother tongue? During childhood the brain is constantly creating new neurological connections, making the process of acquiring a new language effortless, but if we learn a language as a teenager or adult, the brain has to 'scramble'

strengthened, the individual is more intelligent and is able to acquire knowledge more easily. The use of two languages is described by the phenomenon of bilingualism.The effects of bilingualism are linked to the functional neuroplasticity — the ability of the brain to modify its structure and function with experience. This neuroplastic effect leads to changes in personality in which a bilinguist is capable of not just switching languages but switching personalities as well. One can argue that it takes more
