Topic > The Stroop Word-Color Test - 1206

Introduction:In this Stroop experiment we attempt to investigate inference in perception by showing 20 participants a Stroop color model and a controlled black and white model and compare the reaction of the two.Stroop studied interference in perception demonstrating that perception is a dynamic process open to influence. The Stroop color-of-words test can be modified in languages ​​other than English, thus demonstrating how the Stroop effect "works" across a wide range of languages, i.e., it is cross-cultural. In the traditional Stroop effect, naming the print color of a word is delayed if the word itself is a color word that names a different color (e.g., responding "red" to the word "blue" displayed in red letters is slower than responding "red" to a red spot). Stroop interference is where "words are processed faster than colors." It's true that reading words is faster than naming colors, but it seems to be a question of response compatibility, rather than perceptual speed. Color words interfere with color naming because they are processed automatically. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate inference in the perception of a color Stroop model compared to a simple black and white variation of the color Stroop model. Experimental Hypothesis: I predict that the results will show that the model with the words simply in black will show faster times because there is no interference with what the participants are reading, they are simply reading the normal black and white text as seen in any book or paper, etc. The inconsistency of the color of words will slow down word recognition. Null hypothesis: I predict that the results will show that the model with the color words will show a faster reaction ti...... in the center of the paper ...... and stopping the stopwatch, but the times as accurate as possible. None of the variables changed throughout the experiment. As the variables remained controlled, this increased the reliability and validity of the findings. For next time, a sheet with planned instructions on what is expected of the participant and detailed step-by-step instructions on what to do would be of benefit to the examiner and the examiner. participant because we found that some didn't fully understand the concept at first, so it was difficult for them to fully understand what they were supposed to do. Conclusion: In conclusion, the experimental hypothesis was supported and proved to be true. Looking at the results in the table and graph above, we can see that the reaction times of the black and white model were faster than those of the color model.
