Fortunately for me, I have heard about the Stroop Effect prior to this particular test, so I knew what to expect. The first test was completed fairly quickly, without any error. During the second test where the color and meaning are incongruent, I found myself taking much longer to register what I was reading. This test is interesting and fun to complete! ]]> 2018-05-14 17:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/260565377 carlamilliron https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/261307947 Interestingly my second test was only 2 seconds longer than my first test. I'm not sure if it's because I've seen this test before or what, but I expected my second time to be significantly longer than it was. I thought that I would struggle more to read the words when looking at the colors, but that did not happen for me! I mixed up only a couple words and slowed down a little toward the end of the list. I can't wait to see how everyone else did.

As was expected, my first test went very quickly (17.1 seconds) versus the second test (1 minute 8 seconds). I found myself having to really concentrate on the color to avoid reading the actual word. Toward the end it seemed I was ignoring the word and just looking at the color. As noted, it is difficult to get your brain to shift to another mode, particularly when words are presented. I wonder what the results might have been if the second list presented the words backwards or out of order in some other way? Would our brains still try to make sense of it or allow us to focus solely on the colors?]]> 2018-05-17 00:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/261414724 steverkm18 https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/262223305 Kimberly Stevers

This is my first time taking the Stroop Test. The first time I took about 14.8 seconds and the second time was 17.0 seconds. Not too much of a difference, however, I as I read each wor the second time, I found myself getting tripped up and rereading. Very interesting. ]]> 2018-05-20 23:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/262223305 kszyst https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/262257414 Judy Emerling
I have taken a similar test and I am guessing that is why I was only a couple seconds off from the first to the last. However I do feel that I was reading MUCH slower on the second part especially at the end when my brain had enough]]> 2018-05-21 03:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/262257414 kszyst https://padlet.com/sbusbu/3icyijvk5xif/wish/262257674 Judy Emerling
I have taken a similar test before and that is why I think there was only a second difference between the two.  However I do feel that I really had to focus on the words and read them slower during the second test. These tests are an interesting glimpse into how our brains process info!
