    The Enigmatic Phenomenon of Stroop Effect The Stroop Effect is an interesting, yet complex, phenomenon that presents itself when someone attempts to say a color, yet ends up incorrectly calling the color something else, due to the word being different in some way than the actual color itself (Imbrosciano & Berlach, 2005). For example, imagine a person being asked to name the color of a certain word, such as blue, but instead of saying the correct color, they say what the word spells out, which could

    The Stroop Effect is a psychological occurrence, and is usually defined as the inability to say words that are the names of colors, yet colored in a different ink color than the color’s name (example: green). This was first documented by John Ridley Stroop, in 1935, and he found that it took almost 74% longer for a person to read those words with incongruent colors as opposed to those same words being printed in just black. Some other researchers later used his findings and began to test the Stroop

    Abstract The goal of this rendition of John Stroop’s classic Stroop Effect experiment is to obtain and demonstrate the reaction time needed to mentally process the tasks given (colors and words) under the two different conditions (congruent and incongruent). A prediction of the result was made using the speed of processing theory, which implies that different tasks are processed cognitively at different rates, showing the difference in processing rates (times) for relevant and irrelevant information

    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
