The Duration of Word Meaning Responses: Stroop Interference for Different Preexposures of the Word.
Abstract
Stroop stimuli, ie. color names in incongruent colors, were preexposed in black for different intervals prior to coloration. Color naming times increased slightly then decreased sharply as preexposure intervals increased. Some delay in color naming still appeared for the longest (500 msec) preexposure. The results indicate stages in word processing and their temporal characteristics. The preexposure interval that precedes the interference drop would be expected to shift with changes in color luminance, hue and saturation and also with changes in word legibility. It thus offers potential for assessing the effects of such manipulations on the speed of color and word processing. (Author)
