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

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

my mind the night before the Science Fair in BN Calara Elementary School. It was a stressful night yet everybody is doing their tasks for the success of the said event. I was assigned in doing the sashes for the Mr. and Ms. Science Fair. We‚ the Program and Events Committee‚ successfully made it and everybody else. I worried because I will have a sleepless night before the Science Fair. But the next day‚ my energy didn’t go down. It was the day of the Science Fair‚ October 28 2013. I didn’t care

Abstract The objective of this science fair project is to determine the effectiveness of using sugar to preserve and keep the flowers fresh for longer periods of time. The experiment will be carried out using flowers such as the pompons‚ alstroemeria‚ sunflowers and water containing different amounts of sugar Hypothesis Flowers that are in contact with a more concentrated sugar solution will be able to last longer. Background Keeping flowers fresh "Beautiful" and "sweet-smelling" are
