Stroop Effect

160 Words1 Page

To gain a better understanding of how the brain processes and encodes data when dealing with interference, facilitation, and automaticity of a stimulus in the Stroop effect, I performed an experiment using the numerical Stroop effect. With the help of the 114 Florida Atlantic University students, we performed a within-test subject design and measured the reaction time in seconds of our participants based on the four types of conditions: neutral naming, neutral counting, congruent and incongruent. Neutral naming had the fastest reaction time which followed by congruent, neutral counting, and incongruent. Significant differences were found between congruent and incongruent conditions in reaction time as well as in neutral counting and neutral

    In dual-process theories of the Mind there are two major information processing systems. System 1 and System 2, are theorized to support most forms of cognitive processing. Brain structures activated during System 1 processing are centered on the amygdala, the ventral striatum, dorsal cingulate cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex and lateral temporal cortex. System 2 processes information in a slow, effortful, conscious manner. Outputs of System 2 are experienced as generated voluntarily by the Self.

    I very rarely think in words at all. A thought prevails and I may try to express it in words afterwards, but the words are never there to begin with. But sometimes if I’m lucky, I can identify the thought bubble almost instantaneously with what I like to call “special transmitters”. You see, each thought shape has a different feel – sometimes the thoughts are quiet as a mouse, and sometimes it is loud and thunderous. Sometimes it sounds like it is close by, and sometimes it sounds further off.

  • Stroop Effect Essay

    1597 Words  | 7 Pages

    The Stroop effect was established by John Ridley Stroop in 1935 and has since become increasingly influential through its replication in published works. This effect illustrates the interference in human perception (Hilbert, Nakagawa, Bindl, & Buhner, 2014) and is a perfect example that describes situations in which task-irrelevant stimuli are hard to ignore. This study aims to investigate whether the fast and automatic processing of the colour denoted by a word will interfere with the ability to identify the font colour of the word. According to Raz, Moreno-Iniguez, Martin and Zhu (2007), Stroop effect is the difference in response time between congruent and incongruent stimuli – increase in time taken to name the font colour when it differs from the colour denoted by the word

Where 24 people between the ages of 19 and 31 were given 36 pairs of nouns that were not related and asked to memorize them. After a few minutes they were able to remember them. This experiment was documented using a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine to view the brains processes. They were then asked to only remember the first words and forget the pairs while more scans were taken.

    The results showed that indeed the words at the semantic level of processing were remembered the best and the words of the structural level were memorized poorly. Nonetheless, it could be argued that the semantic level of processing would be different for all individuals depending on their background and life experiences, as perhaps some words are understood more widely than others. It also depends on the language used to present the words and if the language was the first, second or possibly even the third language of the

  • Analysis Of Thinking, Fast And Slow By Daniel Kahneman

    1688 Words  | 7 Pages

    For this course, I chose to read “Thinking, Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman as I was interested by the focus on cognitive thought processes. I am fascinated by the ability for the brain to store such great amounts of information and to use this information in such a limitless number of ways, allowing us to perform highly complex tasks in relatively little time. Additionally, we still know relatively little about how the brain actually stores this information and utilizes it properly. In the beginning of his book, Kahneman presents us with one of his own theories for how the brain performs cognitive processes, presenting a two-system model. These two systems correspond to the “fast and slow” of the title.

    (Chisholm & Kingstone, 2015). The new test asked participants to search an invisible ring of six circles for the grey target circle among the blue non-target circles while an EyeLink 1000 scanned their eyes for movement and measured their reflexes. As an added challenge the circles each had a black square in the middle and the square within the grey circle had triangular indents show up on either the left or the right side of the center. Also during some of the trials an extra distractor would pop up somewhere in the ring. Participants were required to input a physical response via a standard mouse as to which side of the target square the indentation showed up on.

  • Examples Of Chunking Theory

    1752 Words  | 8 Pages

    In essence, chunking is established as one of the mechanisms for human cognition process. It is crucial in explaining the relationship between the external environment and the internal cognitive processes (Reed, 2010). Empirical evidence in support of the relevance of chunking theory exists, especially in relation to the way that humans perceive words, paragraphs and words as single units, overshadowing their representation as comprising of collections of phonemes or letters. For example, the chunking theory explains how skilled readers have a tendency to be insensitive to deleted or repeated words. Studies that use information concerning timing of responses to ascertain the presence of chunks exemplifies evidence on the relevance of the chunking theory are particularly useful in understanding effectiveness.
