our brain manages and process conflicting stimuli. It also enables us to evaluate the reaction time taken required to understand and complete the task. Although, the Stroop effect was originally discovered in Germany in 1929; the publication by John Ridley Stroop was only released in 1935 (“Stroop effect,” 2017). The Stroop effect is one of the most famous examples of interferences in human

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

Introduction Recent studies on psychology have allowed us to understand how individuals perceive and experience art. Although the psychology of art dating back before the 1600’s has been studied to an extent, psychologist have yet to truly understand contemporary art. The intentions of this research paper is to shed light on just some of the methodologies and connections contemporary artists may use in their work, and importantly, just how viewers interpret these details on a neurological and psychological

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

It detects interference and inhibition by having participants’ naming at the color ink presented on paper or index cards and not being conflicted by other stimulations such as the written word. It is measured by the delay in response time. J. Ridley Stroop (1935) designed the original Stroop test using multiple experiments. He discovered in his second experiment that it took participants longer to name the color ink if the written word was not written in the color. For example, it took participants

The aim of our experiment is to investigate the effect of two contradicting stimuli on the time it takes participants to name them correctly. The experiment was a simple replication of Stroop (1935). The design was a repeated measure and the participants were chosen by convenience sampling as it was most favorable. The IV was which word list would be presented, the word list in black ink or the one in colored ink. The DV was the time in seconds that it took the participants read off the list of words

Reaction Timing and the Stroop Theory Haley McGhee Florida Atlantic University Department of Psychology Abstract In this experiment, a hypothesis was proposed that if students were given tasks that varied in difficulty and required varying levels of attention, then their reaction times would differ depending on the task. This would suggest that it supports the idea of Stroop theory. Stroop theory suggests that if cognitive attention has to be split in performing two different

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

when reading. According to The Psychonamic Bulletin and Review (1977), a “widespread view in cognition is that once acquired through extensive practice, mental skills such as reading are automatic.” The Stroop Test, study done by psychologist John Ridley in 1935, was done to test the human brains automaticity. He noticed that humans have a larger
