data, this hypothesis could be accepted as the obtained value was much greater then the critical value. It can therefore be concluded that visual interference does affect people's verbal reactions. Introduction In 1935 John Ridley Stroop published his Ph.D.

Tricky Names: Cognition Time When Ignoring Incongruent Labels Kinnery Desai University of Massachusetts Amherst Abstract The brain’s recognition of objects and labels is instantaneous because of which incongruent stimuli greatly interfere in the brain’s ability to correctly label objects. The goal of our research was to examine the effects of incongruent labels on response time, illustrated through the Stroop test. The Stroop test is a well-known visual processing test

Women,” N.D.). The purpose of this experimental process tests the sensory response in men and women and observe which gender have a faster response. I can perform this experiment using the “Stroop Effect,” first introduced by Dr. John Ridley Stroop in the 1930s. The “Stroop Effect” states that naming the color of the word is harder than the word itself used in Psychology to demonstrate the interference in the reaction time when performing a task. Our brains are constantly sorting and

Abstract The aim of this experiment was to test cognitive interference. The Stroop Effect is the finding that naming words is easier than stating the color of the word. The Stroop Effect was first conducted in 1935 by John Ridley Stroop which was published in the “Studies of interference in serial verbal reactions”. This experiment was replicated by asking 40 participants to complete two different tasks. Task one involved reading words printed in different colors. The second task was to read the

Abstract The lab test that yielded the Stroop Effect was designed to help us understand how the brain processes information. Experiments that produce the Stroop Effect require the brain to deal with potentially conflicting information. Stroop task produces response conflict because we have a prepotent tendency to process words over retrieving names of colors. It requires the ability to ignore irrelevant textual information and inhibit oneself from reading the words aloud. The short description of

play the role of southern parody in society. On the outside it appears to be genuine, caring and communal environment, but just like any community, its roots grow far deeper than its outward appearance. This is not an accident either, as author Olive Ann Burns writes this novel, Cold Sassy Tree, to emphasize intentionally the crooked nature of small, southern towns, and by extension, southern heritage as a whole. Through her characters, Burns paints a playful picture of misconception, polarization

The heartbreaking viral video of one Olive Ridley turtle getting a straw removed from its nose made headlines, http://www.care2.com/causes/researchers-pull-plastic-straw-out-of-sea-turtles-nose-in-heartbreaking-effort-to-help.html but the sad truth is the entire species is crying out SOS. The turtles don't need to be saved from plastic -- they need to be saved from poachers. After centuries of overexploitation, Mexico is enlisting the help drones and marines to save the turtles in the beaches of

continued decline of the hawksbill turtle because of the high demand for "tortoise shell" products (7). The Kemp’s ridley sea turtle (Lepodochelys kempii) is the smallest and most endangered sea turtle. The adult size does not exceed 0.8 meters in length and they usually weigh between 36 and 45 kilograms. These are commonly olive gray but they are black when they are young. Kemp ridley turtles inhabit the coastal waters and bays of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic

Sea turtles spend most of their life at sea, but when a sea turtle is ready to lay her eggs and mate, she’ll have to travel long miles just to get to the nesting grounds. In the article, “SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment”, it states, “Green sea turtle populations migrate primarily along the coasts from nesting to feeding grounds. However, some populations travel 2,094 km (1,300 miles) across the Atlantic Ocean; from Ascension Island nesting grounds (in the middle of the South Atlantic) to Brazilian

smallest in the Cheloniidae family, behind Kemp’s Ridley, it can reach up to 2 and a half feet (2 ½ ft) in length and weigh up to one-hundred pouds (100 lbs). The Olive Ridley is an omnivore and feeds on a variety of prey including crabs, shrimps, lobster, urchins, jellies, algae, and fish (seeturtles.org). According to the IUCN, as of June 2008, it is considered “Vulnerable” on the Red List Category and Criteria (iucnredlist.org). The Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) is from the family Cheloniidae
