Attention and the Stroop effect. The original work by Stroop also looked at this question. The automatic process is reading because usually we read words when we see them not name the color. We ignore the color as not being relevant to the task. However, with practice, we can get faster at the task of color naming - although most of my students report just sort of blurring the word visually to Make it easier to ignore.
Deb Deborah Briihl Dept of psych and counseling Valdosta state university [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ,Sent from my iPad Question 1: Here is one thing that comes from my text book regarding Posner's original conceptions of attention and automatization of tasks: Lower level processes are more likely to become automatic than are later, more cognitive processes. So the question arises: if so, why does reading interfere with color naming (Stroop effect)? Why isn't color naming a lower level process than reading? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks Annette ps: I only get digest to any backchannel cc's will be appreciated--although responses to the list will probably be appreciated by others.
