The Stroop effect: how your brain reacts to conflicting information You can’t always believe what you see. You may have learned your colors before you learned how to read, but what happens when there is conflict between both color recognition and word recognition? The Stroop effect uses the conflict between words and colors to show, how your brain reacts to the conflicting information between the two. By psychologist definition the Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction

Numerical Task Stroop Effect Experiment Annette Franco University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee   Abstract This study added to the well know innovation of the Stroop effect and experiment by John Ridley Stroop through a Stroop task experiment. There were twenty participants who completed two conditions, which tested reaction time. For each condition the participants were asked to read aloud the number of digits that appeared on each row as fast as they could. One condition number figure matched

Introduction The subject of study in this experiment is the Stroop Effect. The Stroop Effect was discovered by John Ridley Stroop, a psychologist in the early twentieth century. The Stroop effect concerns a phenomenon known as cognitive interference, whereby multiple processes occurring in the brain interfere with one another. When one is reading the names of colours which are printed in a different colour than the colour described by the word, one reads more slowly and with less accuracy than when

This experimental investigation has to do with how human’s attention work. It is based on a replication of the well-known “Stroop Effect” carried out on 1935 by John Ridley Stroop. The aim of this experiment was to demonstrate how hard it is for a person’s attention to be divided in different tasks, by making the participants read a series of three stimuli which consisted of: 1) words of colors in black ink, 2) words of colors in their actual font color, and 3) color words with different ink, where

In 1935, the Stroop Effect was first established by John Ridley Stroop. Research done by John Ridley Stroop emphasizes the processing of words that it has on the more studious challenge of naming just the ink color. The Stroop Effect is a proof of interference in the reaction time of an exercise. In the Stroop Effect, subjects are tested only on naming colors of incompatible words and of control patches (MacLeod 1991). Many tests can be distributed, all varied in the colors and words. Any color

Jasper John, there is an evident dissonance to the viewer. The type expresses the name of one color printed in the paint of another color, and to top it off, that very word is printed on a patch with a different color. Essentially, the entire painting is creating chaos with its meaning because the viewer isn’t sure whether they approach the painting by reading the text, viewing the color of the text, or viewing the patch of color which the text is placed on.

Introduction In 1935, John Ridley Stroop further researched and printed the whole idea of the Stroop effect which is also named after himself. The main purpose of the stroop experiment is to time how fast the participants are to respond to different coloured stimuli presented to them in different conditions. This measures the cognitive ability of the individuals involved as it tests the memory and focus. The work of John Ridley Stroop was originally a study that came from James McKeen Cattell (1991)

itself, as fast as you could, and you most likely had trouble with the differing color words/ink. This is known as the Stroop effect, and has been used for many medical researches, rather than just for fun, internet entertainment. The Stroop effect affects humans by using conflicting information in different parts of the brain, causing errors in reading and color-naming. John Ridley Stroop first

Abstract Despite there being so many stroop effects studies done, people might ask themselves where it came from, how is the procedure done, and what can it conclude. This literature review informs about John Ridley, the creator of the stroop effect. How he tested the performance of participants and after many years in psychology, devote his life to religion. Since then many psychologists have tried to answer the effects the stroop effect might have on anxious adults as well as children. Four
