Ridley Stroop's Effect On Identifying Colors

1673 Words7 Pages

Introduction
In 1935 john Ridley Stroop did a study with the aim of trying to find if interfering word stimuli has an effect on identifying colors in a list. For example, if the word "green" is printed in red ink, the participants should respond with ‘Red. ' Stroop 's procedure begins with obtaining one hundred students. There were 29 male undergrads and 71 females. The student was seated at a table with daylight illuminating the room from the left. Natural lighting ensures that the printed colors aren 't distorted. Every participant was asked to read four sheets, two were colored squares. The other - a list of colors printed in an opposing color. Participants read a ten-word sample …show more content…

In this experiment, the evidence has provided clear results. Creating very strong understanding. The study demonstrates a cause and effect relationship. I a word stimulus interferes then the ability to identify a color is lessened. Participants were randomly allocated to erase bias for both the researcher and the student. Unfortunately, participants can 't be used more than once. This is so participants can 't guess the idea behind the study and it allows clear results which can be seen in the order effect. Yet again this means I required a large pool of participants which is hard to find in such a limited environment. This replicated study was rather successful. The data supported the claim and further explains the idea of brain 's ability to interfering component. I would redo this experiment. This is simply based on the conditions of the environment in which the test was conducted. Students that didn 't take part in the test were wondering the hallways. This could have led to a hindrance in patient 's ability to (quickly) identify. Also, the particular hallways I worked in didn 't provide an …show more content…

In front of you is a list of words. When you hear the command, "ready, go" you will flip the paper over and identify the color presented in the word. You will do so in regular reading order. If you make an error, correct yourself and keep going. You will also time it to see how fast you can identify it all. Any questions? "Ready, go!"

Word Identification The QRI-4 guideline suggested Tessa begin reading the word lists at the upper middle grade level, two levels below her current grade level. However, it was necessary to test back to the fifth grade level due to Tessa’s performance on the suggested starting point. Tessa completed the fifth grade word list automatically with 90% accuracy, in the allotted time, signifying she read the words at the independent level. When analyzing the sixth grade word list, Tessa automatically identified 70% of the words, indicating she was identifying words at the instructional level.

Colors are and show up in our daily lives. Around in Society today, colors give us options to explore and express our creativity around us. In Jonas’s community, Color is strange and difficult to grasp the concept of, simply because no one is used to noticing it around them. When The Giver transmits a memory of color to Jonas, Jonas questions The Giver, “But now that I can see colors, at least sometimes, I was just thinking: what if we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow, and we could chose? Instead of the Sameness” (Lowry 98).

In the PBS documentary A Class Divided third grade teacher Jane Elliot tried an experiment to let a class of her third graders experience discrimination. For Jane Elliot’s third grade class in a small town in Iowa discrimination was unheard of because there was only white Christians living in the town. She separated her class based on eye color, so one day she made the kids with blue eyes be superior and the kids with brown eyes be inferior. She did multiple test to see if the way they were treated changed the way they learned. The next day she switched it, so the kids with blue eyes were now inferior and the kids with brown eyes were superior.

The clear-cut bookshelves, combined with the loose outline of books, reveal the scene to take place at a library. In it, neither the human-like figures nor the books have rigid straight lines; both the clothes and the limbs on the human-like figures curve gently and create loose “baggy” subjects. Additionally, at second glance one can make out tiny black human-like figures being used as bookends. After the initial gaze, when analyzing this print the first thing one might focus on is all the generous amount of color. It looks as if there are many different colors throughout, but in reality the majority comes from the primary three: red, yellow, and blue.

In the first experiment, levels of processing (LOP) was tested in regards to both types of memory. LOP is defined as the “the depth of processing involved in memory and predicts the deeper information is processed, the longer a memory trace will last” (McLeod, 2007). In the first experiment, participants were presented a stack of cards with the first card out of every two cards being the main word to focus on and say aloud the first time it is presented. The second card had two words, one of which rhymed with the first. All of the words had distinct colors with one word from the second card matching the color of the main word from the first card.
