The Stroop Effect: indicates that persons asked to name the colors in which letters are displayed are much slower to do so if the letters form names of other colors than if they form the name of the color in which they are displayed of if the letter do not form words.
Hypothesis: The reaction time for the congruent words will be faster than the reaction time for incongruent words
Use VassarStat to run a repeated measures t-test for the two color conditions.
1. Create an APA-style Title Page (page 1)
2. Create an APA-style Results Section (page 2)
3. table (own page after results section)
4. figure (own page after table)
Create an APA-Style Results Section:
• Present a statement about the overall results of the manipulation (i.e., there was an effect or not). For example, “Group-mean response times varied as a function of the number of alternatives in a card-sorting task.”
• Present the descriiptive statistics first. If tables or figures were used, point the reader to a Figure or Table. For each table or figure, provide a structure statement (tell the reader how to read the figure or table). For example, Table 1 displays both the group mean response times and the mean sort time for each subject under each condition. Then present a content statement that describes the message that the data reveals. For example, “The data show that the group-mean response time under the 2-alternative condition was less than the group mean response time under the 4-alternative condition.” Do not repeat the information provided in the table or figure in the text. That is, if the table presents the group mean response times under each condition, do not present the mean response times in the text.
• Once the data have been described, present the results of inferential statistical tests. Tell the reader what tests were applied and what measures were subjected to the test. For example “The difference between group means was found to be significant, t(df)=t value, p<.05.”
• Report the results, but do not interpret them except with simple statements such as “the data (the findings, the analyses) suggest that the number of alternatives affects response time.” The results section should be used for stating what was found. The discussion section is used for explaining why you think you found what you did.
