Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the way in which the brain processes conflicting information which is presented visually, and specifically the conflicts which are set up between processing written information and processing non-verbal visual information.
In this instance, the conflict is between the presentation of different colours and the verbal representation of these colours.
A series of colour descriptors - blue, red, green and so on - are presented to the subject, but the
letters which make up the words are in different colours from that which each word represents. The word "blue" might be made up of letters coloured red, the word "red"
of green lettering, and so on. The subject is then asked to read the colours - not the words - so that for "blue", one would say "red", referring to
the colour of the lettering. Stroop found
that his subjects had difficulty doing so, especially when they were asked to identify the colours as fast as possible, because their reading of the word pre-empted their ability to
identify the colour. "Blue" was read as "blue" because that was the meaning of the word, even though the subject was asked to state the colour, not what the word
actually said. This was the case even when the subjects were aware that they should ignore the meaning and focus on the colour of the lettering. In the majority of
cases, it was only possible to give the correct answer consistently by slowing down response time considerably.
