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

Revisiting the Stroop Effect: Conditions Affecting Word-Color Response University of California‚ Irvine Contact information Abstract The stroop effect causes interference within people when the color of a word and a word‚ the name of a color‚ are incongruently matched. We tested this phenomenon to see if our results would be held constant as reviewed by existing literature. Our experiment used different conditions which

automatic processes employing the Stroop effect experiment. Abstract The interference between the controlled and the automatic processes was observed in the Stroop effect type experiment using two different conditions. The original Stroop effect experiment concluded that the participants will find it more difficult to complete the reading task of the words related to colour meaning in comparison to the reading task of non-colour related words. The result of Stroop experiment supported the notion

Experimental psychology students of eight respondents‚ 3 males and 5 females‚ completed the task in which they participated in a Stroop Colour-Word Test. The condition is the ability to recognize the colours‚ the performance difference between male and female‚ the performance difference between age‚ the reaction time and the effect of colour word interference in order for the participants to speak out

The Stroop Effect: Automatic and controlled processes and the time taken to identify colours and words Abstract The aim of the experiment was test whether automatic processing could affect a colour related task. Previous research has found that the response time of reading the colour of the ink of colour associated words was greater than reading the colour of the ink of neutral words. The experiment retested the Stroop effect to measure the incursion of automatic processing. The results showed

Jun Okubo September 28‚ 2012 IBH Psychology Mr. Altmann Introduction In the 1930s‚ J. Ridley Stroop discovered a strange phenomenon. He asked his participants to name the colors of the words. In first trial‚ the color and the words matched. However‚ in the second trial‚ the colors and the words did not match. He found out that when the color and the words did not match‚ it took longer to name all the colors. There are several theories as to why there is a huge delay. The first theory is

Abstract The experiment is using 20 participants and is employing a within-participant design. The experiment will consist of two condition‚ one that is consistent with the Stoop effect‚ using colour related words‚ and condition 2 consisting of neutral coloured words.

The more complex the condition is when sorting cards‚ the higher the response time and vice versa.

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

Results and discussion INTRODUCTION The Stroop effect is a classic cognitive psychology experiment discovered and first studied by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935.It originated from the theory of automatic processes. It is clear that some processing activities become automatic as a result of prolonged practice e.g. Typing‚ driving‚ etc. Automatic processes therefore are fast‚ require no attention and are unavoidable. Stroop believed that there was some evidence that word identification may be a form
