Abstract The aim of this experiment is to study autonomic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. A number of 180 random participants aged in between 18-89 were recruited to participate in this experiment. Participants were presented with a stroop experiment task sheet which consists of three parts which was the control‚ congruent and incongruent conditions. Time was taken and recorded for each participant to say out the number of stars in the control condition

The Stroop Effect Experiment In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop conducted the original experiments of the stroop effect. The stroop effect is an effect that occurs when individuals attempt to name the color of words that spell out a conflicting color. Stroop reported an interference effect when individuals were asked to report the color of words presented to them. Stroop collected his data by showing his participants a sheet of paper with printed words on it. He then asked his participant’s to name the

The participants included 12 female and 6 male students from Cal State Fullerton. Coglab‚ a virtual lab‚ was used to conduct the experiment. On each trial they were shown a word (RED‚ GREEN

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.

Attention : The effects of automatic and controlled processing Abstract The theory of attention was focused on within the experiment‚ using a modified version of the Stroop effect. The stroop effect suggests that automatic and controlled processing can conflict with each other making it difficult to focus on a particular task. Participants were asked to look at two sets of stimuli which contained words written in coloured ink‚ colour related words and neutral words. Participants were asked

The Stroop Effect My science fair project was based on the Stroop Effect. The Stroop Effect was discovered by J. Ridley Stroop in the 1930’s. The Stroop Effect says that when you read a color word with the same ink as its color word‚ it will be recognized and be identified easily. When you read a color word with a different ink than its color word‚ it will not be recognized as easily. So you should be able to read the same color word with the same color ink faster than a color word with a different

n this study‚ the Stroop effect experiment will be carried out on matching and mismatching test. The Stroop effect experiment was named after Ridely Stroop‚ published in 1935‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the difference in reaction time of reading the name of the coloured words and naming the ink of the colour. Not only does it record the reaction time‚ but it also aims to measure individuals focused attention‚ learning and memory (Stroop‚ 1935). However‚ when reading through

process. One of the major studies conducted that gives results to this phenomenon is called The Stroop Effect. What’s interesting about this sensation is that it is virtually impossible to interfere with its processes. The Stroop Effect was conducted under the watch of J. Ridley Stroop in 1935‚ and is still widely used as a means of understanding the process of automaticity. An example of the Stroop Effect is located in the picture to the left. He observed that people who are given a word list that
