(HOOK) The human brain can process up to 40 billion pieces of information every second, controlling our thoughts, actions and interactions with others. (CI) In the same way, our brains have the ability create memories that will stay with us for all of our lives. (GS1) Accordingly, these experiences allow us to grow and learn from as we get older. (GS2) Moreover, it is often that we must challenge ourselves to reach the outcome we desire in the end. (GS3) Lastly and most importantly, sometimes in the moment we do not realize the impact an experience has on us until later in life when we have the chance to look back do we really see its effect. (THESIS STATEMENT) Little did I know that (I) participating in my seventh-grade science fair would give me an …show more content…

(RE-WORDING OF MAJOR A) In order to impress the judges at the science fair, it was imperative that I had a creative and intriguing project. (MINOR I FOR MA) Furthermore, I wanted to choose a topic that peaked my interest and would catch people’s eye. As I began searching, I came across many topics that involved the brain, which had instantly resonated with me. After days of contemplation, I decided to use the topic,The Stroop Effect, as my experiment.

(MINOR II FOR MA) Moreover, I was very interested in this experiment because I always had a

The Stroop effect was established by John Ridley Stroop in 1935 and has since become increasingly influential through its replication in published works. This effect illustrates the interference in human perception (Hilbert, Nakagawa, Bindl, & Buhner, 2014) and is a perfect example that describes situations in which task-irrelevant stimuli are hard to ignore. This study aims to investigate whether the fast and automatic processing of the colour denoted by a word will interfere with the ability to identify the font colour of the word. According to Raz, Moreno-Iniguez, Martin and Zhu (2007), Stroop effect is the difference in response time between congruent and incongruent stimuli – increase in time taken to name the font colour when it differs from the colour denoted by the word

Named after John Ridley Stroop, the Stroop Effect demonstrates that people read words more quickly and automatically than they can name colors (De Young). A very common way to test this is to have multiple subjects read a series of colors that are written in a different color ink. For example, if the word is blue, but is written in a green ink, green would be said allowed. If this is the case, then will the subject read the word with the same color ink faster than the words with different colored ink?
