Analysis of the Stroop Effect

Abstract\nThe present theater of operations examined memory capacity as in the original Stroop egress experimentation. In a among subject experimental send off 91 undergraduate students from lead introductory psychology courses were tried across three origins. In the first spring ( agree 0), participants were shown watch intelligence of honor and brand names harmonious to each other time, plot participants in the second and leash corrects (condition 1 and 2 respectively) were shown incongruent logos and brand names, for a limited amount of time. for each one group were then asked to issue down what they remembe carmine (brand names for condition 0 and 2, logos for condition 1), and number of correct answers were measured. The decision of the study indicated that participants in condition 0 and 1 did break up at recalling than those in condition 2.\nThe Stroop upshot examines the ideas of cognitive pull wires and working memory capacity. The Stroop effect is able to test these ideas by using the theory of item-specific reckon that questions if the brain is able to do by certain cues. For example, in a video commemorateing- intelligence Stroop effect (MacLeod & MacDonald, 2000), people were shown pictures of animals with opposite wrangle written under of the identify picture. For example, a picture of a pig had the enounce cat written at a lower place it. Thus, the response time was dilatory compared to the true word of the identified picture.\nIn the Stroop effect do by Stroop, the experiment was tried by using colours. The experiment focused in comparison the ink colour to the actual word (the word red printed in car park ink). The participants were asked to record the colour of the word. If the colour and word meaning matched, few errors were made. For an example, the words were all written in black ink. This trial acted as a control experiment. Whereas in the experimental group, the words were printed in different colours, inc ongruent to their word meanings such as the word red printed in green ink. Onc...
