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

Diagnosing and Treating PTSD with the Stroop Effect Yoel Alperin Riverwood International Charter School Many studies have been conducted about the Stroop Effect and about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder‚ however few discuss how the two are related. 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

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

Introduction Effects of Interference on Visual and Verbal Associations The discovery of The Stroop Effect by J.Ridley Stroop in the 1930’s has gave birth to many new theories to how the brain works. The Stroop Effect by psychology terms is the demonstration of reaction time while performing a task. The findings of The Stroop Effect demonstrate how difficult it can be to only concentrate at one thing. J. Ridley Stroop conducted two experiments himself. In the first experiment‚ he compared time

Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded. From

Stroop (1935) showed that participants required more time in naming colours of ink rather than words even when told not to pay attention to the word name. Attention that is directed to Stroop words has been suggested to activate a word reading and color naming response that races for an outcome mechanism‚ where the faster response wins (i.e. The speed of processing theory) (Dyer‚ 1971). Suggesting that the Stroop effect might be due to the speed of processing being faster for words than colors. However
