  1. How to choose your IA topic Step by step

  2. The moment has come to choose your topic Laura Swash Pamoja, August 2012

  3. Ethical? Laura Swash Pamoja, August 2012

  4. True Experiment? There is either one experimental group and one control group, or two experimental groups, each under different conditions. Other variables are controlled. Laura Swash Pamoja, August 2012

  5. It’s Simple! Some ideas for you. You do not have to do any one of these, but they are a good starting point for your thinking. (See the Psychology Guide, p 46-47 for more details): Laura Swash Pamoja, August 2012

  9. Attention: J.R.Stroop (1935) Stroop (1935) noted that observers were slower to properly identify the colour of ink when the ink was used to produce colour names different from the ink. That is, observers were slower to identify red ink when it spelled the word blue. This is an interesting finding because observers are told to not pay any attention to the word names and simply report the colour of the ink. However, this seems to be a nearly impossible task, as the name of the word seems to interfere with the observer's ability to report the colour of the ink. Abstract: In this study pairs of conflicting stimuli, both being inherent aspects of the same symbols, were presented simultaneously (a name of one colour printed in the ink of another colour--a word stimulus and a colour stimulus). The difference in time for reading the words printed in colours and the same words printed in black is the measure of the interference of colour stimuli upon reading words. The difference in the time for naming the colours in which the words are printed and the same colours printed in squares is the measure of the interference of conflicting word stimuli upon naming colours.
