Flapper: Flappers were northern, metropolitan, single, young, middle-class women. Many held steady jobs in the changing American economy. The clerking jobs that formed in the Gilded Age were higher than ever.The number of phone operators increased as phone usage increased. The consumer-oriented economy of the 1920s saw an increasing number of department stores. Women were needed on the sales floor to cope with the most precious customers — other women. But the flapper was not all work and play was

The Flappers were young, middle-classed women who expressed what was considered unacceptable behavior during the 1920s. The Flappers were known as the very first generation of independent woman in America. They pronounced the new and resented fashion of bobbed hair, short skirts, smoking cigarettes, partying, drinking alcohol and having many partners. The Flappers of the 1920s impacted literature in the way of representation of women through writing, new literature being written about The Flappers

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

Abstract An experiment was conducted to test the effect of lateralization and congruency on reaction time to name colors. This was done using a computer program provided by The University of Mississippi. This effect is called the stroop effect. Results showed that it was neither lateralization nor congruency had a significant effect on reaction time, but the interaction of these two variables that created a significant change in the time needed to recognize colors. It is believed that this is

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

Discussion on the data The results of this study provide an abundance amount of information, but not all may correlate with the hypothesis. Also, there were a few underlying questions that would hopefully be found in the results of this experiment. First, the question of which age group was more susceptible to proactive interference cannot be determined because there is not an even amount of ages found in this study; there would need to be a larger sample size with a more divers, yet equal amount

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

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

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

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
