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

But with the interference of the texting, which requires conscious visual control. This interference impacted the reaction time of stepping on the brakes fast enough and resulted in hitting the car. A very famous and similar experiment has been studied throughout history that has found the impacts of an interference on a task impacts reaction time. This is known as the Stroop effect. The current experiment will include the Stroop task using four different independent variable levels and record the reaction time to see if there are significant differences. A significant differences that should occur in the experiment is the naming the color of words printed in the same color should have faster reaction times than naming the color of word printed in different …show more content…
The experiment focused on the reaction time differences between the two different identifying processes. This experiment consisted of 36 undergraduate male students that were split up in two groups that participated in the two experiments. In the experiment numeral and quantity naming are being compared by reaction times. Experiment one included Arabic numerals for numeral naming task and for the quantity naming tasked used figures. In both the experiments half of the group was designated to naming numerals and the other half was assigned to naming quantity figures. The second experiment was different from the first experiment because it included a Stimulus-Sets Conditions. There were 136 reaction times trials made at each trial session. In experiment one the results found that there was not a significant difference between the numeral naming group and the quantity naming group. In experiment two, indicates that naming the quantity of numerals takes significantly longer than just naming the numerals themselves. That the experiment found that reaction time is impacted by the combination of symbolic and concrete number aspects (Windes
