Stroop

attention is a cognitive process used when reacting to only certain stimuli when multiple occur simultaneously, helping the human brain be productive, focus, and filter out unnecessary information. This phenomenon is explained by the Stroop effect theory. This was studied by Stroop (1935) in the experiment we will be loosely replicating to further increase credibility of the theory. He aimed to explore how cognitive interferences affect the reaction time of a task. In the experiment, participants were asked

For this activity I have to go online for Try It Yourself activity. Clicking the Emotional Stroop Test, seeing a list of words in various colors. The task is to say the color of each word in the list as quickly as possible. This is to demonstrate and test your implicit personality through this exercise. Example, if you are afraid of snakes, you might pause longer than other people when trying to read the color of a snake related word. Words such as venom, fangs, slither, etc.It was difficult my first

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

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

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

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

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. The results supported the Stroop effect. The mean time it took participants to name the words in the first

Running head: EXPLORING THE STROOP EFFECT Racing Hoses and the Stroop Effect Milana Istakhorova Brooklyn College – CUNY Fall 2011. Abstract The research assessed in this article discusses the Stroop effect. The Stroop effect occurs when our selective attention fails and we are unable to attend to some information and ignore the rest. This study tests the Stroop effect by presenting the participant with a congruent or incongruent word and the participant is asked to type the color of the word or

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

Examination of the Stroop Effect among College Students Esmeralda Fierro Dixie State University  Abstract 250 word summary of the paper One paragraph only Do not indent the paragraph An Examination of the Stroop Effect among College Students The Stroop experiment by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935 was performed in order to analyze the reaction time of participant’s stimuli and desired results while also obtaining a collective result of color interference and word reading(Stroop, 1935; Lee & Chan,
