1. Author(s): J. Ridley Stroop
2. Title: Studies of Interference in Serial Verbal Reactions
3. Journal: Journal of Experimental Phycology
4. Year of publication: 1935
5. Give 5 most important concepts (key words) in the article: Interference, reaction time, word test, color test, stimuli.
6. What is the Research Question? What is the hypothesis? –The research question is how much time will it take for the individual to identify the name of the color when it’s in a different color compared to identifying the listed colors in black ink. The hypothesis is that the participants would take longer to identify the name of the color when in a different color compared to reading the name of a given color in black ink.
7. How did the author operationally define interference? The author was able to operationally define interference when comparing both events—being able to state the name of the color when in a different color or naming the color listed in black ink—by timing the participants in given situations.
8. Dependent and independent variables of Experiment 1: Independent variable: Reading the color names in black ink and reading the colored text that was stating a different color. Dependent variable: How long it took the participants to read the list of words.

Were the method and results of Experiment 2 same as experiment 1? If different, explain how different on both methods and results. Methods are never the same and if they were different indicate how they were different. The methods from experiment 2 were different because Stroop now used squared rather than using the actual name of the color and the participants had to identify the name of color listed when the text was printed in a different color. They were different because in Experiment 1, the participants had to focus on the color of the text and in Experiment 2 the participants have to state the name of the color listed rather than its
