WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL
We will start working more seriously next week and the first unit in our brand new Science book deals with the Nervous system.
Try an experiment using your brain here:
Task: Do not read the words above. Instead, say the COLOR of each word in each column, in a loud voice as fast as you can.
The Stroop Effect, named after John Ridley Stroop, is a demonstration of the reaction time of a task and is often used to illustrate the nature of automatic processing versus conscious visual control. It was first published in 1935 following a series of experiments similar to those outlined above.
The results of the tests showed that most persons tend to say the color of each word for columns 1 and 2 with little problem. Despite the clear instructions however, most persons struggle to say the color of each word in column 3. This difficulty occurs due to semantic interference.
