1. 1. Stroop tasks with visual and auditory stimuli : How different combinations of spoken words, written words, images and natural sounds affect reaction times

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

   Author : Christina Malapetsa; [2020]
   Keywords : Stroop effect; reaction times; interference; inhibition; executive functions; processing time; linguistic stimuli; visual stimuli; auditory stimuli;

   Abstract : The Stroop effect is the delay in reaction times due to interference. Since the original experiments of 1935, it has been used primarily in linguistic context. Language is a complex skill unique to humans, which involves a large part of the cerebral cortex and many subcortical regions. READ MORE

3. 2. Stroop effect with visual and auditory stimuli : Five tasks show the differences in reaction times when auditory and/or visual linguistic stimuli are presented against an image

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Psykologiska institutionen

   Author : Christina Malapetsa; [2020]
   Keywords : Stroop effect; executive functions; processing speed; reaction time;

   Abstract : Stroop effect is the delay in reaction time that is caused by interference. Differences in perception speed of auditory and visual stimuli, as well as the division of selective attention to more than one sources are combined in five different Stroop tasks in this study, involving three stimuli: a picture, a written word and a heard word.

4. 3. Stroop color coding and the relationship of personality in performance : An experimental study on Stroop color coding controlling for personality traits

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för psykologi (PSY)

   Author : Fanny Lundgren; Modin Håkansson Filip; [2019]
   Keywords : Personality; big six; Stroop color coding test; stress; coping; distraction.;

   Abstract : The Stroop Color coding and word test (Stroop, 1935) is a well-known phenomenon investigating cognitive inhibition, cognitive speed, attention and cognitive flexibility. The Stroop effect refers when processing a stimulus while being exposed to another stimuli simultaneous interfering with the first (Scarpina & Tagini, 2017). READ MORE

5. 4. DOES HUMOR WORK? The influence of humor on cognitive executive function

   University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

   Keywords : Humor; executive functioning; ; cognitive performance; Stroop color-word task; incongruity resolution; attentional resources;

   Abstract : Contrasting predictions have been made about the impact of positive affect and humor on cognitive processing. It has been argued that positive mood is likely to improve some cogni-tive processes, but there is also evidence that claims the opposite. READ MORE

6. 5. The effect on the self-selected gait velocity caused by the subjects’ position when walking on a self-paced dual-belt treadmill in a virtual reality environment while performing a color-word Stroop task: a pilot study

   University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

   Author : Line Harboe Lorentzen; Lisbeth Dauerhøj Fleckner; [2018]
   Keywords : Self-paced treadmill; position; gait velocity; dual-task; feedback;

   Abstract : Background: When people walk while performing a cognitive dual-task, a decrease in gait velocity will occur because of the demand for some of the same cognitive resources. However, in a previous study they found an increase instead of a decrease in gait velocity when subjects walked on a self-paced treadmill while performing a color-word Stroop task. READ MORE
