The Stroop effect is a test to see the reaction time of a task and is usually used to see the nature of automatic processing versus visual control.(Demetrie Thompson, 2012) It is one of the best known developments in cognitive philosophy.(psytoolkit, 2017) Before doing this experiment, it is believed that reading the color words in the black text will be the easiest to read. Reading the color words on the colored text paper that does not match the words will be a little more challenging. Reading the color words on the paper where the text color matches the word will be easy for the participant to do. The hardest test to read will be when they have to read the color of the word on the paper that the text color does not match the actual word. …show more content…
One paper has color words in black text. The other paper has color words in text color that does not match the actual word. The participant is timed on how long it takes them to read the paper with the color words in black text. Then they are timed on how long it takes to read the color words on the paper where the text color that does not match the actual word. Finally they are timed on how long it take to read the color of the words on the paper where the text color that does not match the actual word. In this experiment, there has been one more test added. This last test has a paper with the color words in text color that matches the word. The participants are timed on how long it takes them to read this paper. All four tests are then combined to see which test was the easiest and which was the hardest. Joshua 1:8 says the importance of reading the Word of God. “Keep this Book of Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” This Bible verse relates to this experiment because you need to read the Bible and understand it to be successful in life. Just like you need to be able to read the words in this test, you need to be able to read the

After the groups were separated into groups of three or four, we were instructed to perform three trials. In each group each person got to be an experimenter and a subject at least once. First we placed ten pennies into each cup, and let the blindfolded subject feel the cups at equal weight. We then placed a penny into the experiment cup (A) and told the subject to guess which was the heavier cup. If the subject guessed correctly, we would continue to give them the same two cups, in different hands and order, until they had guessed correctly five times. If the subject guessed incorrectly, another penny was added until they could guess right five times in a row. The purpose of the first weight was to get the subject and experimenter accustomed to the nature of the experiment. After the first trial of ten starting pennies, fifteen pennies were used as a starter. After that sixty pennies were used.
n hypothesis of the experiment is that the group containing four members will perform better than the group containing two members. This is the foundation from which we have conducted our experiment.
The independent variables in this experiment are the time and the foils presented to the subject. The dependent variable is the discrimination index. The...
Asch carried out a study in order to see if a social pressure causes a person to conform. In the first experiment Asch asks a question to the participants. He shows them a card which has a picture of a line. (e.g 3 cm) Then he shows them other cards which have lines ABC in different lengths. He asks them to choose the line which is the same with the first card. In this experiment the participants are
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the widely used paradigm, the Stroop effect, and the difference in reaction time between three conditions. 357 university students were involved. A repeated measures design was used for three conditions: congruent, incongruent and non-colour. Participants were required to look at coloured words and name the ink colour, whilst ignoring the actual word. The results show that in the congruent condition, reaction time was faster and fewer errors
This demonstrated in an experiment by John Ridley Stroop (1935) where he investigated the how well student participants were able to state the color of the word rather than reading the word itself. The researcher predicted that naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color. In the experiment participants were given a ten word sample before the first reading of each test. At the beginning of each test t...
There were several materials that were used during this experiment. College-ruled loose-leaf paper was used for the participants to take the test on. A number two pencil was used to take the test. The program PowerPoint, by Microsoft was used to display the list of words. A projector and white board were used to display the PowerPoint. A flat desk with a chair connected to it was used for the participants to sit in while they were presented the PowerPoint, as well as to take the test on. An HP ENVY laptop was used to connect to the projector to display the PowerPoint, as well as for the music to be obtained from. The music was played from a Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox Portable speaker.
The purpose of our experiment, called The Stroop Effect, is an outcome of our attentionalvitality and flexibility. Most humans can read words more quickly and automatically than they can name colors. Therefore, if a word is shown in a different color ink than the color actually spells; for example, if the word blue is actually written in reen ink, we will have a harder time separatin the word from the color. !e are testin to prove that youner children "approximatelyaes # to $%& will be able to complete the Stroop Test faster than older adults "approximately aes $' to %(&. The procedure is rather simple; we athered a wide rane of test sub)ects varyin by their aes and showed them the Stroop *hart. Then we told them the directions in
The question being tested is,” Which fabric (cotton,silk, and polyester) will burn the fastest ?” The hypothesis was that the polyester would be the least fireproof out of the three. The independent variable of the entire experiment was the three different fabrics used which are silk , polyester, and cotton . The dependent variable was the amount of time . The most important procedures was step 5,7,9 the conducting of the experiment where you place the patch of the fabric on the stick leave it exposed for one minute to the fire and measuring the time with the stopwatch for the three fabrics.
The aim of the experiment is to investigate how Stroop effect and color-word representation effects the amount of time it takes to correctly state the displayed color of a word. The average performance time for participants in both conditions was 15.6 seconds, demonstrating a significant difference between the two. Further, the scores each participant received were close to the average mean for each condition. Repeated measures was ideal in order to test the amount of time the participant took to complete both sections, increasing validity.
Knight presented as a slender, attractive young man who was casually dressed, nicely groomed, and he appeared age appropriate. He was brought to the appointment by his mother, and he separated from her easily. Throughout the evaluation, Knight maintained appropriate eye contact, and he responded well to conversation. Knight was reserved but polite and cooperative. He appeared to be interested in performing well on the tests. In the quiet and structured environment, Knight appeared to be focused, but one hour in, Knight appeared to have extreme difficulty sitting still. He frequently shifted positions, moved around in his chair, fidgeted and looked uncomfortable. It was clear that after one hour, it took substantial effort for Knight to remain focused.
The “Stroop Effect” was named after John Ridley Stroop who discovered this occurrence in the 1930s. The stroop effect is used in many clinical and psychological applications. It is often used to compare the brain development of early school age children. It has been found that interference is often present in conditions such as brain damage, dementia, ADHD, alcoholism, addiction such as drugs and gambling.
The design for this study will be a simple between subject experiment consisting of one experimental group and one control group. The independent variable will be warm colors. The dependent variable will be mood. The main goal is to determine if the independent variable will influence or cause difference in the specified dependent variable. The experiment group will spend 60 minutes in a warm paint color room and their mood will be measured. The control group will spend 60 minutes in a neutral paint color room and their mood will be measured.
At the end of experiment, group that used the keyword technique to make mental image scored higher than the group that didn’t.
