Abstract
This experiment was conducted as a way to look at top-down, versus bottom-up processing. Subjects read the names of colors off Stroop boards, written first in a congruent color of ink, and next in an incongruent color. This allowed an opportunity to analyze the data and examine the differences between the congruent and incongruent conditions. This provides for a deeper look into the way people process information.
Many variations of this experiment have been performed, and have indicated that the incongruent condition significantly slows down processing. Subjects usually perform more slowly in the incongruent condition, and also make more mistakes.
