It was difficult to complete the second task, and my timing was about 5 second slower on the second task. It amazes me how our brain can attempt to compensate for what we think should be happening, without us even being conscious of it. Even though I knew what I needed to be doing (reading the word, rather than saying the color of the text), I couldn't get my brain to do what I wanted it to without slipping up multiple times. ]]> 2018-05-14 18:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/260608058 Amanda Shaw https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261030862 The experience of conducting this test was very enlightening. I was surprised how difficult the second test was compared to the first.  Our brain is an amazing thing when you think of all it is doing at any given moment.  It is running all our involuntary movements and also processing all the information coming in from our 5 senses.  I think studying the way the brain processes information is a fascinating subject.  
This test is a great way to demonstrate how the brain processes information. ]]> 2018-05-15 22:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261030862 Stroop Test lrbruce https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261051739 I remember doing the Stroop Test during my undergraduate years and even then I was surprised at the way our brain struggles to process information when there are competing and conflicting sensory inputs. I wonder how people with ADHD perform on this task, since so much of it depends on ability to focus and ignore other input. I feel like my students with ADHD would have a harder time suppressing the wrong word because of their relative lack of inhibition. ]]> 2018-05-16 00:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261051739 Scott Cammarota https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261070089 Padlet 1.2: Behavioral and Cognitive Science

The Stroop Effect Test is an interesting experiment.  My experience with this test was that even though I knew the words would not be in alignment with the actual colors, and I tried to treat all words as a generic font, I lost time deciphering words or re-reading certain words to resolve the conflict and ensure I read them correctly.  The brain has the ability to auto correct misspellings when reading incorrect words but when the words and colors were not in alignment, the brain required more time to determine if the color or wording took precedent.  Again, even though I prepped my mind in advance, I could not help but lose time resolving the conflict.

Even though I have previous knowledge of the test, I still fumbled with the words on the second test. I find it very interesting that even though I know the correct word I should be saying, my brain picks up the word of the color I see. The Stroop Test takes a lot of focus and attention to be able to complete accurately. I found myself wanted to get a fast time but also struggling more the faster I went. ]]> 2018-05-16 12:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261177919 Krista Shook- Stroop Test shookkn18 https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261392632 I might be the only one that actually enjoyed taking this test! I have actually learned about this Stroop test in previous courses in my undergrad, but this was a new one for me and I really liked it. It made my brain work fast, despite the difference in the two tests. I noticed after I completed the tests that I was faster in the first round and a second slower in the last one. Although I knew what word I was saying, my brain acted as if it picked up the color instead of the word, which was very interesting. Lastly, I found myself preparing for the second test because I wanted to be faster the second time and unfortunately, that was not the case. I would enjoy doing more tests like these and maybe have a chance to form another Stroop test for when I start my career as a counselor with younger children. ]]> 2018-05-16 21:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261392632 Padlet 1.2 holdri18 https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261402169 I learned about the Stroop Effect in a few different classes during my undergrad. This test really made me stop and think about what I was reading. With this test the first one was easier because I could just recall the color without having to look at the writing. With the second test I had to look at the writing because the color made me believe it was the color rather than the word. I think with this test it showed me how important it is to to focus on many aspects of life. I think sometimes in life I am moving too fast and my brain is moving too fast and I miss things. Also I think that I do not always prepare myself for what is next like I did for the second exam. I like these test because it reminds us to slow down and focus on the important things.]]> 2018-05-16 22:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261402169 https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261427366 Kristy Williams Stroop Test

I was surprised to see the information about the Stroop test at the end of the test. I had never heard of it before doing this activity. It actually took me longer to read the first section. I also didn't realize the colors didn't match the second section until they told me in the discussion. I was really tired when I read this, so I am sure that played a role into how I reviewed the information. Since I knew I was being timed, I felt rushed to finish and that affected my accuracy as well. I would be interested in doing another exercise when I was more alert to compare and contrast the experience. ]]> 2018-05-17 01:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261427366 Stroop Test cammarsl18 https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261437246 This was a fun experiment.  Even though I knew what was happening in the second test, my brain struggled to wrap itself around the words that were not in the matching color to the word.  My second time was 10 seconds longer than my first time.  I was surprised at how much effort it took to read the words and get the right meaning when the color did not match the word.  

In relation, I imagine this effect would be amplified if you're talking to a client and their words and actions (or their presentation and your intuitive feeling of them) do not line up.  Food for thought!]]> 2018-05-17 02:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261437246 Brooke Park https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261692730 I learned about the stroop test in my psychology of language class during undergrad and find the workings of it very interesting. One thing I learned in that class also regarding language was how other cultures have different definitions of color. If I remember correctly certain cultures do not distinguish blue from green. This shapes the way people view the world, its an interesting topic to read about.

But what I find interesting is that it took me 3 seconds faster to read it the second time. I think it is because I already had an idea of what to expect? Maybe because I was being timed and I wanted to finish it quickly and as correct as possible? Very interesting test!

It was interesting to see my time almost doubled during the second part. The second part definitely took me more effort to read than the first part. I think this is a good experiment for anyone in the mental health field to do at least once.

I had no idea what this test was about until I was done. It took me about 20 seconds longer to finish the 2nd part. What I can say is that even the first part stumped me a bit because the colors on my screen were off...especially with the yellow one (it did not look yellow at all!!! but brown). As for the second test, every time i came to a brown one, I paused, because I didn't know whether to say brown or yellow. Also the pink and reds were really close so I took time to try to decipher the differences. Maybe I "read" into it too much, but perceptions are everything!! It makes me think about the Instagram battle of "what color is this dress". Its amazing how different things can look on a computer screen. ]]> 2018-05-18 03:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261802317 Raynolds Kusi https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261812102 Stroop Test
It was fascinating experiences taking this cognitive test.  The first time I took it  it went 23 minutes and 8 seconds.  The seconds time I took it , I finished in 1 minute and  2 seconds.  Counting all the colors that ever was, it was amazing.  I felt like I could go faster than that, when I first attempted it, but I was correct because, I out 23 minutes the first time I managed to finish it in 1 minute which was highly improvement.]]> 2018-05-18 05:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sbusbu/wqegv55fz1vs/wish/261812102
