This study provides normative data for a Hebrew Stroop color-word test in young adults. Hebrew speakers showed slower reading and naming but less interference compared to English norms.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • The Stroop color-word test is a standard neuropsychological tool to assess selective attention and cognitive interference.
  • Normative data is crucial for interpreting individual performance and identifying cognitive deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for a Hebrew version of the Stroop color-word test.
  • To compare performance of Hebrew speakers with existing English norms.

Main Methods:

  • A Hebrew version of the Stroop color-word test was administered to 46 college-educated Israeli young adults (18 women, 28 men).
  • Performance metrics included color-word reading, color naming, and incongruent naming.
  • Results were compared with established English language norms (Golden, 1978).

Main Results:

  • Hebrew speakers were significantly slower in color-word reading and color naming compared to English norms.
  • Performance on naming the color of incongruent words was similar between Hebrew and English speakers.
  • Hebrew speakers exhibited reduced interference effects.

Conclusions:

  • Slower performance in Hebrew speakers may be attributed to the longer syllable structure of Hebrew color words compared to English.
  • Reduced interference might stem from the exclusion of vowels in Hebrew orthography and participants' ability to generate non-conflicting responses.
