Essay about The Stroop Effect Experiment

Trial 1 (A), included the participant holding the deck of cards face down , and he/she must sort the deck of card into 2 piles, one pile being a black suit pile and the other a red suit pile. In between the trials, the experimenter (also the time keeper) shuffled the cards. Trail 2 (B), again, holding the deck of cards, face down, the participant is asked to sort the cards into 4 piles this time, one for each suit; diamonds, clubs, spades, hearts. Once Trial 3 (B) is finished, the cards are shuffled again and handed to the participant. Trial 4(A), is a repeat of trial 1, the participants had to separate the deck of card into 2 groups, by alternative color. For each trial, the participant was timed as to how long it

In experiment 1, participants were instructed to press a key to determine if the stimulus was red, blue, yellow, or green. On the second half of the experiment, the stimulus appeared in grey with only one colored letter which was positioned randomly. Error rates for the experiment were below 2.5% for each condition, which is quite low. Experiment 2 was the same as experiment 1 except that there were 114 data collections instead of 288 and there were 36 practice trials instead of 72. According to experiment 1 and 2 it is suggested that the effect of

Hypothesis : If I pair a beep with flipping to the next card then the subject will anticipate the swap and focus on the next upright facing card of the deck.

Problem Statement: In the problem That’s Entertainment we had to find out how the magician did his magic trick using math. The trick was as followed: you will shuffle the card then pull the first one off the top of the deck. For example, if the card is a 3 you’ll place it down then you’ll count up to 12 starting at 3. So if you pull of a 5 you’ll start counting at 5. If you pull out a face card, king, queen, and jack, you place it back into the deck. Once you get to the point where if you pull out a card and are unable to make another pill then you put those cards off to the side. Once you have done this, you will flip the decks, face down, then flip over the top card and add them up. You have to use the information

The two-tailed p-value test has proven two of my previously stated hypothesis to be incorrect. I had thought that there would have been a significant time and trial difference when sorting the cards by number. I thought that the low vision cards would've created confusion when sorting, since they lack the face-card pictures and corresponding number of symbols to match the card value. However, this was not found to be true. The tested subjects were indifferent when sorting between the low vision and standard deck cards.

The rewards are high, but you lose a lot of the red cards and can only win from the blue decks. A group of researchers wanted to find out how long it would take someone to realize this pattern, and that resulted in about fifty cards because of a gut feeling. They also attached a sweat gland tracker to track the response to stress and temperature, and they saw that there subjects started to set off this response around the tenth card. The researchers also noticed that they began to change their behaviors on choosing the colored cards. Subconsciously they players picked up the pattern of the game before they even realized it. From doing this experiment researchers that our brain uses two opposite tactics to make sense of a situation, the conscious strategy and subconscious. The subconscious strategy was used in the statue

The Stroop test consisted two major posters of word lists: Incongruent list and Neutral list. Each poster included 20 words in 2 columns of 10 words each. All letters were stenciled, capitalized and 1 ¾ inches high. Both incongruent and neutral words were listed on the 56 x 71 cm posters Stopwatch with 0.01-second accuracy was used to time to measure how long participants took to read both incongruent and neutral word lists, which is a dependent variable for this experiment.

Memory Match The first player chooses a card and carefully turns it over. Be sure not to bother the surrounding cards. The player then selects another card and turns it over. If the two cards are a matching pair then the individual takes the two cards and starts a stack.

During the second simulation, one member went outside, was blindfolded and given a household item. They had to determine what the item was and draw it, while remaining blindfolded, exposing the challenges faced by those who are blind. In a later simulation, participants were asked to trace a word on each person’s palm. The word went down the line and at the end, it was a completely different word than it

Minerva unknots the tie of the deck and spreads the cards on the table until she finds the Queen of Hearts. Shuffles. Holds the deck out to Mary to cut the cards. Mary cuts three times. Minerva lays the Queen of Hearts in the center then lays out one card to the left, right, above, below the Queen of Hearts and 5 cards down the right side. Mary and Minerva lean into the cards on the table.

simultaneously choose a card to play. If the chosen cards are of the same color, Player I wins.

Once again, spreading cards in a certain way achieves a specific objective – in this case, to control a selection to the top.

In the control group, Stroop (1935) printed all of the words in black. In both conditions, Stroop (1935) printed the words twice in each row and twice in each column. Stroop (1935) did not print the colors in the corresponding color of ink and also did not repeat words in a row or column. For his first experiment, Stroop (1935) used 70 college student volunteers. Half of the students (half of each sex) completed the control, then the experimental sheet, then experimental sheet again, and then the control (Stroop, 1935).

The materials consisted of two poster boards that were placed in two different rooms before the start of the experiment. One poster board, the neutral list, was placed outside of the classroom, down the hall and around the corner, while the incongruent word list was placed inside the classroom on the white board.
