Hypothesis and Aims The aim of this study is to assess the effects of post-traumatic stress on brain functioning, in particular executive functioning and information processing of children and adolescents. This study also aims to evaluate prazosin as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in children and adolescents. Specifically, the study focuses on the treatment of sleep disturbances such as insomnia, nightmares and altered sleep schedules. The hypotheses of this study is that the subjects

This experimental investigation has to do with how human’s attention work. It is based on a replication of the well-known “Stroop Effect” carried out on 1935 by John Ridley Stroop. The aim of this experiment was to demonstrate how hard it is for a person’s attention to be divided in different tasks, by making the participants read a series of three stimuli which consisted of: 1) words of colors in black ink, 2) words of colors in their actual font color, and 3) color words with different ink, where

Introduction: In this Stroop experiment we attempt to investigate the inference in perception by showing 20 participants a Stroop color model and a controlled black and white model and compare the reaction times of the two. Stroop investigated in interference in perception demonstrating perception is a dynamic process open to influence. The Stroop word-color test can be modified into other languages other than English, thereby demonstrating how the Stroop Effect "works" across a range of languages

Participants: In the present study, the experiment has been done at Northern Illinois University. The study had XXX students. These students could be from any year of school: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, graduate. This study ranged from the ages of XXX – XXX years. We had females, males, and people who identified as other who had participated in the current study. In the current study we had XX males participate, XX females participate, and XX other participate. Pertaining to the current

Elizabeth Peal and Wallace Lambert published a monograph titled “The Relation of Bilingualism to Intelligence” in 1962. They directed research in Montreal with 10-year-old children where they analyzed the performances of monolinguals to bilingual speakers of French and English on standardized tests of intelligence. Before this study was conducted, bilingualism was thought of negatively because there was concern around bilingual children and the disadvantages of learning two languages at once. Some

time to perform condition 2 than condition 1. The mean difference between the two conditions was 3.87 seconds, which shows a significant difference. The results of this experiment highly support the results in the original; experiment conducted by Stroop (1935), who concluded that that the participants’ abilities to read words are quicker and automatic, than they can name colours. Morton and Chambers’ (1973) supposed that people are able to read words faster than naming colours. It appears that

Psychology Per. 6 ~Intro of IA~Stroop Effect~ We go throughout our busy lives, multitasking with many objects that come across us. We tend to text and drive, eat and watch television, and even walk and chew gum at the same time. We need to get a better understanding of our brain and how it is able to do many things at once. John Ridley Stroop, an American psychologist researched in the area of cognition and interference. The area of psychology that the Stroop Effect is grouped in is cognition

In 1935, John Ridley Stroop conducted an experiment at George Peabody College for teachers in the United States. Stroop used 70 college undergraduates as subject in his experiment, he compared times for reading names of colours and naming colours themselves. The aim was to determine if the colour of the word affected the ability to read it. In the experiment, there was three different conditions. In the first condition participants were asked to read words as quickly as possible whereas participants

Understanding the Results: The Breakdown of the Stroop Effect The beauty of science is the fact that it is not ever a complete certainty. There are times when an experiment might yield results that conflict with prior results in past experiments, which then forces the researcher to try to account for the possibility of new findings that lay outside the range of prior discourse. This is the case here, where a variation of the Stroop test was conducted, with atypical results. After coming to these

shows that participant’s time where double once they took the second test. These results show no correlation with an increase of age and an increase in proactive interference. However, these results show that there is proactive interference with the Stroop effect. Some errors in this experiment that could have affected the results were inconsistencies of the setting on where the experiment was taken. Although it was timed a participant could have taken longer to press the finish button or make a mistake
