ABSTRACT
The selective attention task was used to examine an individual’s automatic thinking process and controlled thinking process, whether they interfere with each other, if they do so, to what extent and can this be consciously controlled. The experiment used for this research was the stroop effect. Previous research found that the stroop condition always had a slower response time. In this present experimental task, the two conditions were slightly manipulated and the result showed that there was significant effect on the response time, providing further support for the stroop effect.
INTRODUCTION
Individual senses receive large amounts of information every day. Our Cognitive process attention, takes some of this information for processing, but disregards others. A prime example of this would be; a person taking the same route to work every day, this person would be able to recall the route that they had taken, but would be unaware of how many cars that they had passed, people that they may of passed or whether they had heard a dog bark. Kuhaneman (1973) suggest that the brain has a limited- capcity processor and therefore unable to process all information we receive, which gives reason, why an individual is not aware of everything around them. Simon and Levin (1998) study of ‘change blindness’ (citied Graham Edgar 2007, pg.10) showed how little information and individual takes in.

Further experiments, such as the dual-task studies were conducted to understand how cognitive process works. Posner and Boies (1971) (cited Graham Edgar, 2007, pg.13)
