The reverse Stroop task (RSE) was investigated. Contrary to verbal mediation theories, an RSE was consistently observed, suggesting response competition plays a key role.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Experimental psychology

Background:

  • Translation accounts propose verbal mediation causes Stroop effects with nonvocal responses.
  • This suggests no reverse Stroop effect (RSE) should occur when responses are word-labeled.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the verbal mediation hypothesis in the reverse Stroop task.
  • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the RSE.

Main Methods:

  • Four experiments were conducted using the reverse Stroop task.
  • Participants identified words while ignoring colors, with word-labeled button responses.

Main Results:

  • A significant RSE was observed across all four experiments.
  • Experiments 3 and 4 indicated that response competition drives the RSE.

Conclusions:

  • The findings contradict simple translation accounts of the RSE.
  • An account emphasizing stimulus-response association strength better explains the observed RSE.
