Based on my experience with the Stroop effect I have concluded the test with the conflicting words and colors showed increased complexity. I realized during the test that the incompatible inputs created conflict in my mind. In order for me to formulate a response I had to disqualify an input and validate the solution prior to the final answer. According to George Washington University’s cognitive psychology department this phenomena is due to the top down processing theory. This theory…

The aim of this experiment was to basically analyze how fast the brain can perceive color and describe words simultaneously with the Stroop Effect theory. The Stroop Test is also done to determine new findings on the human’s brain automaticity and how it processes certain functions. In reference, to the independent and dependent variables involved, the independent variable in this experiment would be the color word followed by the conflicting color and the dependent would be the time that it took…

Running head: EXPLORING THE STROOP EFFECT Racing Hoses and the Stroop Effect Milana Istakhorova Brooklyn College – CUNY Fall 2011. Abstract The research assessed in this article discusses the Stroop effect. The Stroop effect occurs when our selective attention fails and we are unable to attend to some information and ignore the rest. This study tests the Stroop effect by presenting the participant with a congruent or incongruent word and the participant is asked to type the color of the word or…

The Enigmatic Phenomenon of Stroop Effect The Stroop Effect is an interesting, yet complex, phenomenon that presents itself when someone attempts to say a color, yet ends up incorrectly calling the color something else, due to the word being different in some way than the actual color itself (Imbrosciano & Berlach, 2005). For example, imagine a person being asked to name the color of a certain word, such as blue, but instead of saying the correct color, they say what the word spells out, which could…

The Stroop effect is demonstrated by the reaction time to determine a color when the color is printed in a different color’s name. Participants respond slower or make more errors when the meaning of the word is incongruent with the color of the word. Despite knowing the meaning of the word, participants showed incapability of ignoring the stimulus attribute. This reflects a clear instance of semantic interference and an unfathomed failure of selective attention (Stroop, 1935). In the study of the…

color of the word, if the word is in an incongruent word color. This cognitive phenomenon is more commonly known as the Stroop Effect. The Stroop Effect is a study that lead to the occurence where objects of incongruent context and word display are used to find the reaction time it takes to determine the context of the word. The original way that is used to test the Stroop Effect is by printing a name of a color, in a varying font color. The purpose is to determine whether or not gender affects…

Psychology Internal Assessment The Stroop Effect “An experimental investigation into the interference of conflicting stimuli on a response task” Candidate Name: Grace Jo Candidate Number: ?

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…

Abstract The aim of this experiment is to study autonomic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. A number of 180 random participants aged in between 18-89 were recruited to participate in this experiment. Participants were presented with a stroop experiment task sheet which consists of three parts which was the control, congruent and incongruent conditions. Time was taken and recorded for each participant to say out the number of stars in the control condition…

which the Horse Race Model is the reason for the Stroop effect 1202353 Date: 21/03/12 Word Count: 1950 A study to test the extent to which the Horse Race Model is the reason for the Stroop effect Abstract This study looked at the Horse Race Model and whether it is the main reason for the presence of the Stroop effect. This study was conducted to test if the Horse Race Model is a valid reason for the Stroop effect as there has been some conflict in past research…
