Description | ||
| The purpose of this experiment was to determine if gender affects visual selective attention. This was tested using the Stroop effect, a task that shows that people take much longer to say the color of a stimulus when it is used in printing an inappropriate color name, rather than if it appears as a simple solid block of color. The hypothesis of this experiment was that gender would not have an effect on visual selective attention. | ||
