Photoelectric effect

In 1935, John Ridley Stroop discovered the Stroop Effect. It is an experiment based on the amount of time it takes to identify the color of words that are printed on paper. The attempt to identify the color in which the words are printed takes an extended amount of time when the colored word contrasts from the color of the ink rather than when the colored word is identical to the ink color it is printed in. This is also known as “interference.” Humans are so talented at reading that they can…

misleading information after they have completed a cognitive interview, or CI where certain techniques are employed to elicit more accurate details in memory. This is an important point of research because the extensive literature on the misinformation effect shows that witnesses who have been exposed to misinformation may recall these misleading details during later testimony (Rivard, Lapaglia, Wilford, Chan, Fisher, 2013). Past research has indicated that taking an initial memory test can…

images of a different animal, and the neutral condition was images of nature. The goal was to label the animal listed in the word box that was in the middle of the image. After the experiment was performed, it was found that there was an interference effect when comparing the time it took to complete both conditions. These results conclude that conflicting images do interfere with the process of reading a word. Striking images may in fact distract the subject and halt their reading process.…

often see things happen and do nothing thinking that others will help. Hopefully being aware of such a thing called the bystander effect, will help people be aware and help them take the initiative to help when they see something is wrong. Does the number of people in an emergency influence helping? According to Garcia, Weaver, Moskowitz, and Darley (2002) the bystander effect is when “a person who faces a situation of another person in distress but does so with the knowledge that others are…

of Brazil we get a hurricane at the coast of Florida”. Chaos theory is mathematical theory that describe the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to very small starting forces then get huge response which is called the butterfly effect. CSI is investigating the case of Paige Rycoff, who has been missing for four days since she dropped out of college and was going home, but never arrived. The investigators started by analyzing where the victim has been seen last (her room),…

Introduction The article “Bystander Intervention in Emergencies: Diffusion of Responsibility” was written in 1968 by John M. Darley of New York University and Bibb Latane of Columbia University. The study is based on a 1964 incident in New York in which a young woman by the name of Kitty Genovese, was stabbed to death even though 38 people witnessed the crime from their apartments. None of the witnesses came to her aid or even called the police during the attack even though it lasted for…

Variation of the Stroop Effect Experiment Camelia Danciu College of the Canyons Introduction There are certain activities we perform on a daily basis that become automatic. If the activity is performed out of the ordinary, then more focus or thought is put forth on the activity to complete it. An example would be placing the car keys on a different spot from the usual would make one think twice about their location. The Stroop Effect is widely used in psychological assessments as a way to…
