Inducing a Stroop Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the conditions that lead to Stroop interference for a meaningless linguistic label. Tiffany’s cognitive model of drug abuse implies that individuals will respond more slowly to drugrelated words compared to neutral words in an emotional Stroop task, because the former have many automatic associations (e.g. positive expectancies). To examine this proposal, we trained participants to associate a meaningless label with either one other word or several other words and examined the induced Stroop interference for these meaningless labels. In two experiments, and contrary to expectations from Tiffany’s work, we observed greatest Stroop interference for the meaningless label with just one association. These results are discussed in terms of associative learning theory. Copyright # 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Using Brain Potentials to Functionally Localise Stroop-Like Effects in Colour and Picture Naming: Perceptual Encoding versus Word Planning
The colour-word Stroop task and the picture-word interference task (PWI) have been used extensively to study the functional processes underlying spoken word production. One of the consistent behavioural effects in both tasks is the Stroop-like effect: The reaction time (RT) is longer on incongruent trials than on congruent trials. The effect in the Stroop task is usually linked to word planning...
متن کاملInfluence of color word availability on the Stroop color-naming effect.
Three experiments tested whether the Stroop color-naming effect is a consequence of word recognition's being automatic or of the color word's capturing visual attention. In Experiment 1, a color bar was presented at fixation as the color carrier, with color and neutral words presented in locations above or below the color bar; Experiment 2 was similar, except that the color carrier could occur ...
متن کاملA rational look at the emotional stroop phenomenon: a generic slowdown, not a stroop effect.
The role of Stroop processes in the emotional Stroop effect was subjected to a conceptual scrutiny augmented by a series of experiments entailing reading or lexical decision as well as color naming. The analysis showed that the Stroop effect is not defined in the emotional Stroop task. The experiments showed that reading, lexical decision, and color naming all are slower with emotional words an...
متن کاملReduction of the Spatial Stroop Effect by Peripheral Cueing as a Function of the Presence/Absence of Placeholders
In a paradigm combining spatial Stroop with spatial cueing, the current study investigated the role of the presence vs. absence of placeholders on the reduction of the spatial Stroop effect by peripheral cueing. At a short cue-target interval, the modulation of peripheral cueing over the spatial Stroop effect was observed independently of the presence/absence of placeholders. At the long cue-ta...
متن کاملStroop-Type Interference: Congruity Effects in Color Naming With Typewritten Responses
Four experiments examined the Stroop effect with typewritten responses. Experiment 1 compared vocal, arbitrary-keypress, and typewritten responses and found the largest Stroop effect for typewritten responses. The effect appeared in the latency to type the first keystroke and not in the duration of the typing response. Experiment 2 compared normal (name the color) and reverse (name the word) St...
