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

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

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

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

The Stroop effect is a phenomenon wherein individuals take longer to name the color of words printed in a non-matching color‚ such as the word blue printed in red ink‚ than when the words are printed in the same color as the word designates‚ such as the word blue printed in blue ink.; J. R. Stroop first described this in 1935 (Goldstein‚ 2011). Stroop found that this effect occurs when the names of the words cause a competing response‚ which then leads to a slower response to the target (Goldstein
