INTRODUCTIONTHE STUDY…This study is about stroop task presenting stimuli having two dimensions, and participants respond to one dimension while ignoring the other.

THE GAP…The gap of this study is whether there is influence of interferences in color-naming task.

THE PROBLEM…To know if there is color stroop effects on students’ cognitive ability.

INTRODUCTION

SELECTIVE ATTENTION THEORY

Broadbent (1958) proposed that physical characteristics of messages are used to select one message for

further processing and all others are lost.

DISCUSSION

DISCUSSION

• Reading is an automatic process.

• Naming colors required more attention than reading.

• Repeated practices enables a person to perform a task more quickly and easily.

• Presentation helps participants allocation of attention.

• Stroop interferences test identifies healthy individual.

CONCLUSION

• Color and word interferences have a strong influence over our ability to say the ink-color of the word.

• Practicing Color stroop tasks help and support human performance in visual information processing.
