The Stroop Test in Evaluating Performance Effects of Navy Diving Tasks. 1. Stimulus Exposure Duration Effects

Abstract

The items in the Stroop color-word test are color names printed in an incongruous color (e.g., the word 'red' in the color blue). Twenty-four Submarine School volunteers viewed a set of 36 Stroop items presented serially at speeds of either 1 or 2 sec. duration. Interference in color naming was examined over six repeated presentations of the list. The results indicated that interference effects were significantly greater (p < .001) under the 1 sec. condition. The data are consistent with a competing response interpretation.
