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…
on reaction time, we used a modified version of the Stroop task (Stroop, 1935). In the Stroop task, participants are presented with color words that are not printed in the same color they are spelling. The participants are required to identify the ink color that a color word is printed in and then move on to the next word until they complete the task. Reaction times in this experiment are measured in milliseconds and recorded. In the modified version, also called the Emotional Stroop Task, the…

Who would exppect people to buy rocks instead of dogs or cats? Well, the California guy named Gary Dahl, is actualy the one who did. He…
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…
in the cells helps prevent fluid loss from the body. Many have argued whether or not tattoos are hazardous to your health. A tattoo is created by puncturing the dermis layer of the skin and injecting ink. Not all cases are the same, and as a result some individual’s skin can reject the injected ink.

Overall with the two videos, I saw how they made parchment from animal skins. It was unbelievable that the transition of the animal skin turns into a thick piece of paper to make a book. However, it is not a fast process when making it. The process of making the animal skins into parchment was they had to pick the right animal with the right skin texture. Then they put the animal skin in lime water for some days so the hair can loosen up and be scraped off for into a smooth surface. Then they…
objects. The techniques used for Praying Hands it was drawn on a blue-coloured paper with black ink and white ink. The hands were shaded with cross-hatching to create a form that shows the differences of the two hands overlapping. The fingers at the front were also shaded with white ink to create the sense of being the most front. The veins on the left hand was also highlighted but with mid-tones. The white ink gives some sort of impression that there was light shown to the hands and even the…

Like most aesthetic trends, tattooing didn’t make its way to rural America quickly. Small-town introductions to body ink came via the circus, where those with body art were billed as bizarre attractions” (Crum). People covered head to toe in body art were occasionally hired as a sideshow act for circuses. These exhibits provided employment for those completely tattooed…
of college students and tattoos. One article, “Inking and Thinking: Honors Students and Tattoos” is a Sociology piece because it focuses on the two large groups who have tattoos: honor students and non-honor students. The other article, “To Ink or Not to Ink: The Meaning of Tattoos Among College Students” places an emphasis on the reasoning behind why students have tattoos or why they do not. Because this article discusses both groups of people-those with and without tattoos as well as the…
