Interference: The Stroop Effect

Don’t read the words above–just say the colors they’re printed in, and do this aloud as fast as you can.

You’re in for a surprise!

If you’re like most people, your first inclination was to read the words, ‘red, yellow, green…,’ rather than the colors they’re printed in, ‘blue, green, red…’

You’ve just experienced interference.

When you look at one of the words, you see both its color and its meaning. If those two pieces of evidence are in conflict, you have to make a choice. Because experience has taught you that word meaning is more important than ink color, interference occurs when you try to pay attention only to the ink color.

The interference effect suggests you’re not always in complete control of what you pay attention to.

What do you think would happen:

  • If you tried this experiment with a very small child who had not yet learned to read?
  • If you tried this experiment with someone who was just learning to speak English?
  • If you used the same order of ink colors but wrote non-color words?
  • If you made up an experiment of your own.

Today’s Insults

I’d like to see things from your point of view but I can’t seem to get my head that far up my ass. – My Wife

I bet your brain feels as good as new, seeing that you’ve never used it. - Denise

I bet your mother has a loud bark! - Anon
I could make a monkey out of you, but why should I take all the credit? – Barbara from Tucson

I don’t consider you a vulture. I consider you something a vulture would eat. – Me!

This is horribly un-pc… But it is Sooo funny!

I’ve agonized as to whether or not to put this up… But I get such a kick out of it that I couldn’t resist…  If it bugs you… Sorry.. Send me  your complaints… I’m a big boy.

Warning: Foul … Loud Language!!!
