Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!

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

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

Participants: In the present study, the experiment has been done at Northern Illinois University. The study had XXX students. These students could be from any year of school: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, graduate. This study ranged from the ages of XXX – XXX years. We had females, males, and people who identified as other who had participated in the current study. In the current study we had XX males participate, XX females participate, and XX other participate. Pertaining to the current study

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

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

Ever since we can remember, we are exposed to many things and information. They experience what’s around them. The one thing they had to do is assimilate and then accommodate the mentally and being able to categorize with the different objects. For example: the name word and the quantity. This took time and practice, they were able to name the number and not the word. In the next experiments, they will be able to recall the object because of the repetition. They remember the characteristics and

Animals surround the human population on a daily basis. Whether this is in the wild, a zoo, or a household pet. Animals come in variations shapes, sizes, and colors and are generalized by attractiveness. For example, when putting in “cute animals” into Google search engine pictures load of puppies, kittens, bunnies, baby animals, and other animals deemed cute. This attribute is used in emotional Stroop. The original Stroop test was word and color congruence and incongruence (Stroop, 1935). With this

Abstract Self-discipline is the key of success. Success in career and life are determined by personal regulation (Converse et al., 2014). Self-regulation is one of the most functional personal ability (Bertrams, Baumeister, Englert, & Furley, 2015). General speaking, ‘self-control’ is the personal inclination to invest cognitive emotional and behavioural resources to reach a desired consequent (Hagger, Wood, Stiff and Chatzisarantis, 2009). In the order words, self-control is a significant element

The Effect of the Stroop Effect on Accuracy, Time and Self-Confidence Levels Stroop’s 1935 study was the first experiment to test the Stroop effect as we know it now. The Stroop task measures the participants’ ability to ignore some parts of the stimuli, either the color of the word or what the word actually reads and pay attention to others. This is especially the case when the stimuli is incongruent, or when color written does not match the color of the font it is written in. The research question

results without a significant outlier. Also different levels of interference where shown in children and adults, it was also observed that interference began at an early age, declined in the adult years since most have a peak of cognitive development and understanding in adult years, but once again increased interference around the age of 60 (MacLeod,
