What Is Stroop's Inteference?

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

An interesting challenge arises when a task such as color naming is identified as both controlled and automatic, by varying the other task involved. Color naming is identified as a controlled process when the other task is word reading, but as an automatic process when the other task is shape naming. Cohen, Dunbar and McClelland (1990) proposed an alternative explanation of the Stroop effect, which does not distinguish between automatic and controlled processing. Instead, they proposed that automaticity is a range, and that Stroop interference depends on the relative degree of learning the particular tasks, not on processing speed.

The Stroop effect was tested on four different tasks. Nineteen Queens College students were recruited by flyer, and each were assigned to a word reading task, color reading task, color inhibition task, and word inhibition task. They were timed using a stopwatch function on a cell phone, to name the color, or word to the quickest of their ability. In the order from longest reaction time to shortest: inhibition color naming task, color naming task, inhibition word reading, and word reading. This study shows that people can read words more quickly than they can name colors, and that inhibiting an automatic response to color/word tasks will take longer to do than tasks that do not involve inhibition.

The Stroop experiment by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935 was performed in order to analyze the reaction time of participant’s stimuli and desired results while also obtaining a collective result of color interference and word reading(Stroop, 1935; Lee & Chan, 2000). In the experiment three forms of the test were given, the first consisting of color patches, the second had the color words printed in black and the other was an incongruent test beaming the color did not match the color word

The first step in conducting the experiment was deciding who was going to be tested. The test included using four classes each of a different grade level to perform the color/concentration test on. Each student was given a notecard to document their: Name, Age, Gender, Grade, Score, and Time. The first test was fireworkspop.com/colortest which was the simpler of the two test. As students take the test monitor the room and answer any questions anyone has getting to the website. After completing the first test the students will then their first score on the note card and proceed to take the second color test on cognitivefun.net/test/2. the second color test was slightly different and could go on forever. Instruct the students to go to trial twenty-one to get their results. The website gives the option to continue anonymously and the website calculates the score and gives the time it was completed in. The students wrote all their results before the note cards are taken up to be compiled into a graph. Let time go by before doing the experiment when the gum is included. The reason for waiting a while before doing the second portion of the test is so the subjects would not be expecting it, therefore they would not be prepared, making results more accurate. Splitting the class in half by numbers then again by gender, give each group one of two flavors of gum cinnamon

The Stroop Effect experiment generalized selective attention and how it affects our everyday thinking. The experiments main focus depicts how selective attention impacts our everyday lives and how efficient/ effective our thinking process can be. It is a classical phenomenon well versed in experimental psychology. The stroop tasks describes a task in which participants must identify color names printed in an opposing color of the presented word and read color names where the color of the print is the same as the word.

The purpose of the article was to help understand how reduction (inconvenience) of word-reading when naming colors may affect the intervention in the Stroop test (Liu, 1973). The participants used in the experiment were 24 undergraduate students in a psychology course. The materials in the experiment included index cards, separated into four different types of card decks: the word deck, the color deck, the color word deck, and the concrete noun deck. Participants were then told to name the ink color of stimuli on the color deck or to read the word on the deck. Participants were then asked to place the cards down, and ordered to hold the color-word deck and concrete-noun deck upside down in order to name the color. This would lead to the experiment

My subject is whether or not reading to young children will have an impact on their Reading ACT scores as high school juniors. I chose this experiment after having a discussion about Reading ACT scores with my friend. Both her and I have had the exact same English classes and teachers throughout our high school career. Why was her score lower than mine? It is possible that her score was lower because I was read to every night as a child whereas she was not. Because there are not many experiments that have tested this, I have decided to test it.

In the experiment the question being addressed is how does color affect memory? By collecting data about the question and learning whether or not dates in color affect the mind stronger than dates in black and white, it could form study methods. Color did better than black and white dates, which means that things written in color are easier to remember than things written in black and white. Studying and remembering facts for important tests leads to higher grades, higher grades lead to better schools and colleges/universities, higher grades and degrees in those levels of schools, and better jobs. Possibly even advances in technology when it comes to certain

The cognitive task of the Stroop task is the proof that an interference of a task has a reaction time delay. From the moment I saw the Stroop effect on my textbook and on the power point in lecture class, I grew an interest to this subject. I found it a mentally challenging task; it was tricky and therefore grasped my attention and wanted to further explore this cognitive task. As stated by MacLeod, “The Stroop effect, however, is more than a cognitive curiosity; it continues to play a key role in the understanding of attention” (MacLeod, 1992). The Stroop task shows an interesting effect, but most importantly has served as a tool to further our knowledge on attention and cognition.

The Stroop effect was a phenomenon first demonstrated by John Ridley Stroop, who was the first person to study the effect systematically and publish it in English. In the Stroop’s colour-word test (Stroop, 1935), it was demonstrated that people took much longer to name the ink colour of the words printed in incongruent colours, than the words which were colour-unrelated. For instance, it took more time to respond ‘green’ to the word ‘red’ printed in green ink than to respond ‘green’ to the word ‘trust’ written in green ink (Stroop, 1935). For Stroop’s (1935) experiments, he first compared the time of reading colour words printed in black with the time of naming the ink colour of the words printed in incongruent colours; later he also compared

An experiment in demonstration of this was conducted by J.R. Stroop (1935) who introduced the color naming experiment known as the Stroop Effect, where he showed that when people have to name words in different printed color it interferes with their abilities to read them efficiently. Stroop asked participants to read words as quickly as possible in one condition where words were printed in all black and in a second condition where participants had to name the ink color in which each word was printed as quickly as possible. Stroop found that the participants were much slower at naming the ink colors when they had the distracting stimuli of having it in a different color, indicating that a possible explanation for the Stroop effect is that people quickly and automatically process the meaning of the word. This would therefore interfere with the ability to process a color effectively in the second condition. In conclusion, Stroop stated that conflicting stimuli to a certain task interfere with with the person’s ability to complete it efficiently (J. R. Stroop 1935). The study is worth replicating as it shows the limitations of an essential human ability that is heavily relied on. The aim of our experiment is to investigate the effect of two contradicting stimuli on the time it takes participants to name them

In testing for the Stroop Effect, three conditions were used in a pseudo-randomized way. One such condition involved participants naming the color of a word, when the word spelled out the direct opposite of that color. For example, when a participant was presented with a green colored word, the word actually spelled out “blue”, and vice versa. This condition was called the direct conflict list. A

INTORDUCTION J.R. Stroop conducted experiments in the 1930’s investigating the effects of conflicting word and colour stimuli on both word and colour recognition (Stroop, (1935, p.643-662)) His experiment involved the use of three different sets of stimuli; the first with names of colours printed in black; the second with names of colours printed in a conflicting colour: and the third with squares of colour. Stroop wanted to examine the difference in reaction time between conflicting and non-conflicting stimuli. The first and second stimuli were combined and the participant was asked to read out the semantic meaning of the word. While reaction times increased when presented with conflicting stimuli, the difference was not significant enough to assume interference.

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.
