Cognitive Stroop Test Game

Hello all, I'm new to this forum. I'm an undergraduate psych student and I am trying to develop a variation of the stroop test. I would love it if you would take part in my research and complete the minute long game I have designed.

It's only a minute and it's pretty fun!

Please help me out with this, it could be a groundbreaking tool in psychology ... or it could flop. But it's definitely worth your time.

Thanks, and I'm glad I found this forum, it seems great!

What is a stroop?

ha ha, it's pretty cool !

but, why can't I get any feedback on the test ?

The Stroop effect refers to the fact that naming the color of the first group of words is easier and quicker than the second.

In psychology, the Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. When a word such as blue, green, red, etc. is printed in a color differing from the color expressed by the word's semantic meaning (e.g. the word "red" printed in blue ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the meaning of the word is congruent with its ink color. The effect is named after John Ridley Stroop who first published the effect in English in 1935.[1] The effect had previously been published in 1929, but only in German. [2][3][4] The original paper has been one of the most cited papers in the history of experimental psychology, leading to over 700 replications.[4]

I fail to see what you are attempting to prove with this test, I can't see you getting any results. I would guess that you're linking the category of word with a delay in colour recognition...however I didn't read any of the words, I just looked slightly under the word and saw only the colour so I couldn't even tell you what kind of words there were unless I went back and re-did it.

The original test worked as the word's semantic values were colours, and we closely associate the semantic words with their visual colours too. It is this close-knit confusion that causes the time delay. Presenting random or emotive words will have no affect on how quick it takes to recognise the colour as there is no "interference" in your brain. As I mentioned before, I couldn't even tell you a single word your test used.

Hii

Nice test for me!

OK I don't get it. LOL!!

I agreed, started the test, clicked on the first key and
nothing happened.

So what am I doing wrong?

So do not I, the same happened to me. What do I have to do?

I don't get it... how do you select the color?
