    repetition. They remember the characteristics and the description when they are categorized. The Stroop task (1935) the word was created with color to see if the participants are going to be able to say it regardless of their fast or slow response time with the interference. Usually in the conflict they will slower than the no conflict. In the Stroop (1935) experiment he has proved that the effect is going to be one of the two slower or faster. In the non-conflict, some of the participants had

    The Stroop Effect In his historic study, Stroop found that reading names of colors interfered with individuals’ ability to name the ink color the word was printed in when the two differed (i.e., the word “BLUE” written in red ink) (1935). However, the basis of this phenomenon can be traced back to Cattell who found that naming colors and pictures took twice as long to accomplish than reading the word these colors or pictures represented (1886). He concluded that this was due to reading being

    1 Gareth Stack - Lab Group 2 Date of practical - 20/10/03 / Date of Submission - 07/11/03 Reaction times related to congruence in a Stroop test of undergraduate students 2 ABSTRACT The 'Stroop effect', a measure of interference in a reaction time task, was investigated. Twenty undergraduate students of mixed age and gender were each presented with 48 coloured words in turn. These were divided into 16 of each of 3 levels of congruence. The time required to identify the colour of each stimulus

    Abstract Self-discipline is the key of success. Success in career and life are determined by personal regulation (Converse et al., 2014). Self-regulation is one of the most functional personal ability (Bertrams, Baumeister, Englert, & Furley, 2015). General speaking, ‘self-control’ is the personal inclination to invest cognitive emotional and behavioural resources to reach a desired consequent (Hagger, Wood, Stiff and Chatzisarantis, 2009). In the order words, self-control is a significant element

    visual interference tends to have an effect on one’s cognitive processing speed (in seconds) in naming words where the names of its color conflicts with its ink color. Though reading seems as a very easy and simple task for all of us, there exist many cognitive factors that are involved in it. When visual and cognitive factors interfere, the task being undertaken seems difficult and undergoes many effects. J. Ridley Stroop created a study that explains the stroop effect in the year 1935. In two experiments

    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 created to determine how the cognitive process can be inhibited by what is seen and interpreted visually. Our specific Stroop task approached the interference between shapes and words, rather than colors and words. Participants were asked

    I. Hypothesis It commonly believed that over time, the effects of drug related cues increases the efficacy of relapse. To this end, the researchers are looking to key brain chemicals to aid in the therapeutic treatment of drug addiction. A main concern is how can drug-related cues be counteracted or reduced in patients prone to relapse. In one study, investigators found that “drug use and relapse involves learned associations between drug-associated discrete and contextual cues and drug taking…”

    The Stroop Effect: Visual vs. Auditory Recognition When performing the stroop task, participants are asked to say the color of a printed word that appears on the screen. We found that participants were slower to respond when the color was incongruent to the word. They began reading the word instead of saying the color (Enetl & Tzelgov, 2016). There was conflict shown in the performing of the task where the relevant task was the color naming and it was contradicted with the irrelevant task of word
