Changes in event related potentials during processing of Stroop stimuli.

L R Warren, G R Marsh

    The International Journal of Neuroscience
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigated the Stroop effect using button presses and brain potentials. Noncongruent stimuli slowed response times, with brain activity suggesting interference occurs during response selection for the typical Stroop effect.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Information Processing

    Background:

    • The Stroop test is a classic measure of cognitive interference.
    • Understanding the neural basis of Stroop interference is crucial for cognitive neuroscience.
    • Previous research has explored response times but less so the underlying neural mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the neural correlates of the Stroop effect and reverse Stroop effect.
    • To determine the processing stage where Stroop interference occurs.
    • To analyze event-related potentials (ERPs) and preresponse potentials during a simplified Stroop task.

    Main Methods:

    • A simplified Stroop task was administered with participants responding via button press.
    • Stimuli varied in congruence (congruent/noncongruent) and were presented in either the color or word condition.
    • Event-related potentials (ERPs) and preresponse potentials were recorded and analyzed based on stimulus type, condition, and visual field.

    Main Results:

    • Noncongruent stimuli significantly increased response times (RTs), confirming the Stroop effect.
    • Analysis of event-related potentials indicated that the typical Stroop interference (color condition) is localized in the response selection stage.
    • The reverse Stroop effect (word condition) was associated with more complex processing interactions during stimulus encoding.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest distinct neural processing stages for the typical and reverse Stroop effects.
    • Response selection is a key stage for Stroop interference in the color condition.
    • Encoding processes are more complexly involved in the reverse Stroop effect.
