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

The Stroop experiment can be traced back as far as the nineteen century around the time of some particular works of Cattell and Wundt. The experiment was first written about in 1929 in German. The experiment was name after John Ridley Stroop after he had written the article “Studies of interference in serial verbal reactions,” which was published in 1935.there have been over 700 replications of this experiment The experiment is a demonstration of reaction time of a task . The Stroop experiment

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

the object because of the 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

The Stroop Task and Further Exploration Lesly Cabrera City College of New York The cognitive task of the Stroop task is the proof that an interference of a task has a reaction time delay. From the moment I saw the Stroop effect on my textbook and on the power point in lecture class, I grew an interest to this subject. I found it a mentally challenging task; it was tricky and therefore grasped my attention and wanted to further explore this cognitive task. As stated by MacLeod, “The Stroop effect

METHODS Participants There were nine participants in this study, five in the first group and four in the second group. The first group included Daina Berry, Justin Quintrell, Paige Govey, Natalie Campbell, and Jared Flannery, while the second group included Megan Powell, Kyle Sugonis, Abigail Mrozek, and Vanessa Landgrave. These participants are undergraduate students from Dr. Kelling’s 11:00AM Experimental Psychology course. The students partook in the study in order to receive a passing grade

The Stroop effect: how your brain reacts to conflicting information You can’t always believe what you see. You may have learned your colors before you learned how to read, but what happens when there is conflict between both color recognition and word recognition? The Stroop effect uses the conflict between words and colors to show, how your brain reacts to the conflicting information between the two. By psychologist definition the Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction

The Effect of the Stroop Effect on Accuracy, Time and Self-Confidence Levels Stroop’s 1935 study was the first experiment to test the Stroop effect as we know it now. The Stroop task measures the participants’ ability to ignore some parts of the stimuli, either the color of the word or what the word actually reads and pay attention to others. This is especially the case when the stimuli is incongruent, or when color written does not match the color of the font it is written in. The research question

stimuli is more discernible when in comparison to pronounceable and common words. A more efficient control group can be pseudo words such as English words that follow pronunciation rules and are word-like. In 1977, Redding and Gerjets repeated the Stroop Effect by presenting the stimuli on a tachistoscope, one at a time. Their goal was to explain pre-experimental

Abstract An experiment was conducted to test the effect of lateralization and congruency on reaction time to name colors. This was done using a computer program provided by The University of Mississippi. This effect is called the stroop effect. Results showed that it was neither lateralization nor congruency had a significant effect on reaction time, but the interaction of these two variables that created a significant change in the time needed to recognize colors. It is believed that this is
