EFFECTS OF PRACTICE ON STROOP CONGRUITY John S. Monahan Central Michigan University‚ monah1js@mail.cmich.edu Abstract Automaticity‚ both reading and response‚ response competition‚ translation models‚ and the imbalance/uncertainty model of the Stroop effect were investigated. Two participants received four weeks of key press practice using standard Stroop stimuli. Tests of RT to standard Stroop‚ Single colored letter‚ and Stroop dilution stimuli were conducted before and after each week of

Our brain tends to manages this by responding to one or more input(stimulus) at a time such is listening to music while watching tv‚ or ignoring inputs such as the background noise from the tv.

Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

I. INTRODUCTION The Stroop effect (sometimes called the Stroop test) is an outcome of our mental (attentional) vitality and flexibility. The effect is related to the ability of most people to read words more quickly and automatically than they can name colors. John Ridley Stroop first reported this effect in his Ph.D. dissertation published in 1935. Current research on the Stroop effect emphasizes the interference that automatic processing of words has on the more mentally effortful task of just

Have you ever wondered how people’s brains mix things up that their not supposed to‚ or how they sometimes have a brain farts‚ well this activity does that exact thing. The “Stroop Effect” is a spectacular phenomenon that makes a person say the color of a word when that exact word is also a color. Although people may believe it is easy it is a bit more difficult than believed to be. This is due to the fact that the word itself has a giant impact on the ability People have to actually say the word

Abstract The aim of this experiment‚ modeled off Ridely Stroop’s “The Stroop Effect” was to examine the effect of incongruent ink colors on naming the color of the text out loud. This will be examined from a cognitive perspective working in conjunction with the speed of processing theory. It was predicted that the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the control condition will be significantly less than the time taken to recall the color of the ink in the experimental condition. The hypothesis

Diagnosing and Treating PTSD with the Stroop Effect Yoel Alperin Riverwood International Charter School Many studies have been conducted about the Stroop Effect and about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder‚ however few discuss how the two are related. It’s not surprising that researchers don’t see the two as having any effect on each other and on the surface that is true. It’s hard to believe that a famous study explaining inhibition has any relation to a terrifying disorder caused by extreme trauma

This aspect of his study that later came to be called the “Reverse Stroop Effect” as it was seen in a comparison between pre and post tests that the subjects who had been reading the incongruent color words for the 8 days of the experiment‚ now faced an interference in word reading (from 19.4 s before to 34.8s after) however this interference disappeared after the second post test. (22.0 s) (C.M. MacLeod‚ 1991; Stroop‚ 1935). This can be attributed to the automaticity theory‚ which states that

alcohol and those who drink socially has been explored using a range of investigatory paradigms. One of the approaches used was the emotional Stroop paradigm (Williams et al.‚ 1996). When the word meaning and ink color are different the color naming is found to be slower than when the semantic content of a word is neutral. This slowing is known as the Stroop effect‚ from which it is concluded that an attentional bias has developed for concern-related information carried by some words. Through the routine
