An experiment into the interference between automatic and controlled processing: A variation of the Stroop effect. Abstract The effects of completing a task which requires the use of both automatic and controlled processes was investigated through a two-process experiment designed around a variation of the Stroop effect. Previous research found that‚ when performing certain tasks‚ response time is longer when an automatic process conflicts with a controlled process‚ in this instance reading interferes

STROOP EFFECT When the words ‘red‚ green‚ yellow and blue’ printed in coloured inks but in incongruent combinations of colour and word e.g. the word ‘red’ printed in colour yellow‚ the word yellow in the colour blue and so on and the Ss are required to name the colours as quickly as they can‚ ignoring the words‚ it is not easy to do so. Invariably‚ the colours are hard to name than when they are shown in simple strips uncomplicated by the words. Typically volume of voice goes up; reading falters;

Investigating Stroop effect using coloured-associated words and neutral words in experiment Abstract The interaction between automatic and controlled processes was examined in ‘two-process theory’. Previous research has investigated the downside of the automatic processes which is illustrated in Stroop effect. It was found that automatic process of reading have interfered with the task of naming the colour of the ink in Stroop condition. Current experiment examined this interaction further

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to examine differences in gender performance among male and females and age on the Stroop interference effect. 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

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

The Stroop effect deals with the brain’s reaction when dealing with difficult or complex information. The brain’s competing functions are the cause of the delay or slow reaction time. Stroop relies on perception because of how the brain processes information from the environment by the senses. Due to the selective attention that occurs within people and the competing functions to process complex information‚ it usually takes a longer period of time for the participants to accurately identify between

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

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

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

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.
