interference in relation to the Stroop effect 3 Interference and facilitation are two important aspects of automatic processes. Interference refers to the range to which one process encumbers performance of another‚ whereas facilitation indicates the extent to which one process assists performance of another. Through practice and maturation‚ reading progresses from a controlled process to one that is automatic‚ lessening the demands on attentional resources. Stroop reported one of the first studies

THE STROOP EFFECT AND COLOUR-RELATED WORDS ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out to test if the Stroop effect occurred when a small but significant modification to the conditions was applied to the classic Stroop experiments. Previous evidence suggested that although automatic and controlled processes can work simultaneously‚ they can cause undesired interferences. In this experiment‚ colour names were replaced by colour-related words in the Stroop condition and it was found that the Stroop effect

Yesenia Kinsey Kendra 8th Grade Science May 16‚ 2016 The Stroop Effect The brain´s time to react slows down when having to deal with other conflicting information. To see how this phenomenon works‚ I’m going to see how fast the brain can react before being interfered with new information‚ versus after being interfered. After doing some research‚ I´ve came up with a hypothesis that states‚ if I ask a person to say the color of a word‚ let’s say ¨blue¨ that is printed in blue‚ and then show the same

An experiment investigating the effects of interference on speed estimates during the Stroop task Nicharee Thamsirisup (Nid) IB Psychology Standard Level Abstract: This experiment is to investigate the effect of color interference in speed estimates of the Stroop task which was first researched by John Ridley Stroop in 1935. This can be investigated by seeing the time difference between the task of identifying colors when color words are printed in the same color as their semantic meaning

The Stroop Effect "The idea of linking color and behavior is reasonable enough. Anyone who has ever felt blue‚ seen red‚ blacked out‚ or turned green knows we’re prone to make emotional associations with different shades."- Winifred Gallagher Problem Question (or project title): The Stroop Effect - If you are slower in the word identification process time‚ reading comprehension will be more difficult for you. Can we trick the brain? The Stroop Effect is an important process that focuses on attention

The experiment tests whether conflict takes place between the automatic process of reading a word and the controlled process of naming the ink colour of the word by replicating a version of the Stroop effect. A sample of 20 volunteering participants‚ 10 men and 10 women‚ aged 18-69‚ took part in the experiment. Participants were given two conditions‚ one list with colour-related distractor words and one list with colour-neutral words. For each participant‚ time necessary to name the ink colour of

Certain tasks can be performed with more accuracy due to the fact that our brain becomes conditioned to react automatically after exposure of the stimuli. In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were

Stroop Effect CogLab Report Stroop Effect CogLab Report The Stroop effect is a test that demonstrates a decrease in reaction time that occurs when the brain receives conflicting information. When sensory information conflicts‚ a processing delay occurs in the brain; this is interference. If a specific color is paired with its corresponding word then those two pieces of information are compatible. If the information conflicts then the individual is forced to make a decision. It is hypothesized

(66.67%)‚ and the remaining 38 were seniors (22.62%). No participants received compensation for participating in this experiment. These participants were divided into six groups based on where they were sitting. Design The Stroop Test was used in order to test the effect of interference on reaction time. This was done by using three different types of slides‚ each with either 20 words or 20 colored boxes‚ and recording how many words participants could read the color of‚ rather than the word itself

The investigation into the effect of social facilitation on the performance level within the Stroop effect. Abstract The relationship between social facilitation (first discovered by Triplett in 1898) and the issue of interference within the Stroop effect were investigated. Fifty participants were recruited and took part in a repeated measures design. Participants were given a list of congruent and incongruent words in single and paired situations. The overall findings of this study suggest
