Stroop

Abstract Despite there being so many stroop effects studies done, people might ask themselves where it came from, how is the procedure done, and what can it conclude. This literature review informs about John Ridley, the creator of the stroop effect. How he tested the performance of participants and after many years in psychology, devote his life to religion. Since then many psychologists have tried to answer the effects the stroop effect might have on anxious adults as well as children. Four

attribute is used in emotional Stroop. The original Stroop test was word and color congruence and incongruence (Stroop, 1935). With this experiment many more have popped up using the general guidelines of the test to create new Stroop tests. One form of Stroop is an Emotional Stroop using pictures. In a study by Russell Constantine and his colleagues, they used pictures of

My experiment was performed as a replication of a previous experiment by Stroop (1935). J. R. Stroop (1935) conducted this experiment as a means to study interference by using task-irrelevant stimuli. Task-irrelevant stimuli are stimuli that are unrelated to the current task (Goldstein, 2011). Interference is the competition of responses (Goldstein, 2011). The effect that was found was later named the Stroop Effect (Goldstein, 2011). His work was predicated by the work of James McKeen Cattell (Macleod

Based on my experience with the Stroop effect I have concluded the test with the conflicting words and colors showed increased complexity. I realized during the test that the incompatible inputs created conflict in my mind. In order for me to formulate a response I had to disqualify an input and validate the solution prior to the final answer. According to George Washington University’s cognitive psychology department this phenomena is due to the top down processing theory. This theory

Participants Participants who participated in the Stroop test were 18 undergraduate students. A subsample of 18 students from a larger pool of 148 students (138 female, 8 male, 2 declined to state) from a Human Development research methods course participated for a course credit. Apparatus and Materials The Stroop test consisted two major posters of word lists: Incongruent list and Neutral list. Each poster included 20 words in 2 columns of 10 words each. All letters were stenciled, capitalized

In 1935, the Stroop Effect was first established by John Ridley Stroop. Research done by John Ridley Stroop emphasizes the processing of words that it has on the more studious challenge of naming just the ink color. The Stroop Effect is a proof of interference in the reaction time of an exercise. In the Stroop Effect, subjects are tested only on naming colors of incompatible words and of control patches (MacLeod 1991). Many tests can be distributed, all varied in the colors and words. Any color

The Stroop Effect is a popular phenomenon used throughout experimental psychology. 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

Introduction The subject of study in this experiment is the Stroop Effect. The Stroop Effect was discovered by John Ridley Stroop, a psychologist in the early twentieth century. The Stroop effect concerns a phenomenon known as cognitive interference, whereby multiple processes occurring in the brain interfere with one another. When one is reading the names of colours which are printed in a different colour than the colour described by the word, one reads more slowly and with less accuracy than when

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 the Stroop Effect is that
