Stroop Color Test Influencing on Participants
J. Ridley Stroop was one of the creators that discovered this experiment making a test for the participants. Became one of the most popular and using test for psychology in different ways obtaining a lot of benefits and effects. The Stroop Color experiment were examined in a positive way to the participants tested in a visual task. Participants were assigned a simple task determining the correct answer depending on what color was write on the block and not in the color that word appearance. Hence, this test help to the participants to be exanimated in different ways showing how simple things can affect and facts influence in the result of the Stroop Color to improve the test making the effects more

Arab J Sci (2014) explain how stress increase each time more in life of humans. Arab J Sci makes an experiment where he test and measure in a simple way stress in the participant’s in different ways. Hence, through Stroop test the research can tested heart rate and blood pressure. The purpose of the experiment is that participants measure and control their levels of stress avoiding that in the future the will have damages in their health for stress. The experiment consist in two completely different session. The experiment start with 30 minutes of relaxation for the participants identifying the matching natural pictures with relaxing music. Then, participants start with Stroop test which guidance which have two different performance; in performance one was the congruent session, when the block of color and the word are the same. And the congruent session which are when color block and word are different, which is the second performance on the experiment. In additional, the test was divided in two relaxation stages and three stressfully stages which are measured as low, medium and high each one with different end time period. Trough, to participants in this experiment researchers can observe the changing between stress and normal mood obtaining a great significance between this two moods. Having as advantage of the experiment was the classification of stress in the subject independent mode. This …show more content…
Dumay and Gaskell, 2007, 2012; Davis et al., 2008 made three different types of experiments in which they test to the participants with new words that associate with the colors through the native language with the finality to evaluate which conditions are necessary to learn semantic. However Dumay and Gaskell use different number of participants for three experiments, but all participants’ were native speakers of German. Additionally, the conditions of the vision of the participants change in each experiment. In addition, they did ach experiment with test a different purpose. Gaskell designed experiment 1 to examine how participants relation short time ago native word by lexico-semantic memory and how it could be affect learning. Experiment 1 was divided in two sessions. On session one researchers tested 10 words each word was paired with a word color written in German but words appears on black. Then, Stroop Test was more difficult having four subsection of color terms in German translation. After, participants did session 2 with different stimuli (German translation). Research use for the experiment 10 different colors which were red, yellow, green, violet, blue, orange, black, white and brown. The task for the participants was to choose the correct answer pushing one of the four colored buttons that go with ink color or German term that were ask in the screen. Hence,

    The semantic memory refers to the area in the brain that allows one to be able to process ideas and concepts that are not typically associated with personal experiences. Semantic memory includes general knowledge, such as colors, sounds of letters and other common facts obtained over the span of the person’s life. For instance, semantic memory allows a person to store and retrieve information about what a cat is or to name an object when asked. Sentence Verification is an example of semantic memory in which the subject must identify whether or not the sentence is true or false. It aims to discover the latency that reflects the organization of knowledge in long-term memory.…

    Red Dye 1 Red dye 1 is most likely a polar covalent molecule since we have found that it dissolves into water but does not break apart into ions. Just because it dissolves in water does not make it solely polar covalent, but since it has a relatively low conductivity, 534 mS/cm in the 0-20000 range, then it most likely is polar covalent. This is further confirmed with the fact that it does not react with NaOH, NaCl, or AgNO3, all ionic substances. The red dye does not react with NaOH since there was no color change when added, and the conductivity simple rose as the NaOH was added, due to the fact the excess ions were being added to the solution and not reaction at all.…

    The second Stroop trial was harder because I was focusing more on the word instead of focusing on the color of the word which made it more difficult to process. I followed the expected pattern and on the second phase and it was a little easier because I expected the words and colors to be different. Briefly (2-3 sentences) define, in your own words, the Stroop Effect: The Stroop effect shows how individuals process information differently when we try to associate it with words…

    Studies done by Stroop (1992) and Windes (1968) suggest that the Stroop effect occurs when performing a naming task which impacts reaction times. In the Stroop (1992) study found that color naming had a slower reaction time when the color words were printed in a different color, but even slower reaction time occurred when the color and word were completely separate from one another. The current experiment used Stroop task to determine the impacts of reaction times to test the hypothesis to see if there is a significant difference between the reaction times amongst the four levels of the Stroop task. Specifically seeing if the naming of color words printed in the same color had faster reaction times than naming the color of word printed in different…

    The Stroop Effect

    The Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. It is the finding that naming the color of the first set of words is easier and quicker than the second. When the name of a color (e.g., "blue", "green", or "red") is printed in a color not denoted by the name, (such as the word "red" printed in blue ink instead of red ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color. In his experiments, Stroop administered several variations of the same test for which three different kinds of stimuli were created. In the first one, names of colors appeared in black ink.…

    For the experiment he had two hypotheses pertaining to the process of reading the word and naming the color of the word. Stroop studied college students who were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions to test first. For the first test, one color word, like blue, was printed in ink of a different color and they had to say what the color word was (Stroop, 1935). Then the second, neutral condition was the same situation except the color word was printed in black ink (Stroop, 1935). Another test he included was where the participant named what color the word was printed in.…

    In the test, subjects are shown the names of colors in colored letters. The color of the letters does not match the name of the color given. It takes mental effort and concentration to see past the word and just identify the color of the word. The authors used this test to identify how racist decisions affected the results of the test. Thus, the dependent variable was cognitive ability and it was measured by the Stroop test.…

    Moreover, although asked at the beginning, none of the participants report any issue regarding naming color, however in the experiment, a lot of the participants confused themselves between orange and brown, and purple and pink and therefore the time they spent correcting these errors elongate the reaction time significantly. Resulting in lack of reliability in the final results. In future experiments, this can be eliminated using a simple color blindness testing before beginning and I will choose a different shade of these colors that is easier to distinguish. Thus, the result will only be the measurement of the reaction time instead of participants trying to get the right…

    0.20 g of adsorbent was added to 20 mL of 50 mg/L dye solution and Vortex at 150 rpm for various time intervals at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, minutes. The above steps were repeated using dye concentrations of 100, 150 and 200 mg/L dye solutions. Adsorbent dosage is an important parameter because it determines the capacity of adsorbent for a given initial concentration of dye molecules. Then their % absorbance’s were calculated by spectrophotometer (λmax=410) and thus amount adsorbed were calculated. Data obtained from the experiments with 0.20 adsorbent concentrations are presented in Fig.…

    Introduction In color reproduction, gamut or the color gamut is a certain complete subset of colors, which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance such as given color space [1]. In another words gamut literally means the total range of possibilities that can be accomplished from red, green and blue (RGB) for a particular device [2]. If certain color cannot be reproduced accurately there is a way how to calculate the color difference by adequately describing the color by numerical values. Delta E (∆E) is the mathematical difference between two samples and is computed as distance in CIELAB space between two colors.…
