2. The Stroop Effect
The Stroop Effect is a very rewarding method. It can help young children learn there colors. Thus,
it can identify disabilities with a young child. Many children learn quickly. Many children are unable to
learn new things. The stroop effect can help a teacher identify what errors a child is having trouble in.
Thus, with extensive help, the child should over come their issues. If the confusion is still prevalent, then
the teacher may seek outside help.
The school psychologist could help identify areas of concern. It is important to identify issues in
school age children. Children become shy, and aggressive if their skill is different from their class mates.
The stroop effect is the antecedent to curve behavior before it starts. I believe changing colors and names is
confusing, but or mind will process information automatically. Once a child is unable to identify the
changes, concern should be prevalent.
Thus, many teachers are over whelmed with school work because of cuts, in California. There is
on counselor peer school. There are a very high percentage of drop outs. I have seen many children digress
because; they couldn’t keep up with the required curriculum. It is important for parents to be apart of each
Childs learning process. The stroop effect could be implemented in the home environment. The parent
would be able to identify, why their child is having a hard time school.
In closing, many drivers have unnecessary accidents. These drivers aren’t paying attention.
Drivers that are having conscious traffic violations, should be tested. The stroop effect could be
implemented in a controlled environment. Thus, is minds process information differently? After 10 to
fifteen times of testing, their should be areas of concern. There could be special classes for drivers that
aren’t paying attention. Many drivers are in a rush, and the cause unnecessary accidents. The stroop effect
could help CHP, and local police identify antecedents for accidents.
