Differential performance on a color-word interference task:

摘要

References(13) When testing SS in previous research on a color-word interference task, the stimuli were generally said to have been presented in a well-lighted room, or with adequate lighting, or with a good light source, and the like. The present research attempted to find out the difference in performancce between: (a) SS performing the task under a level of illumination of 5 ft-c;(b) SS performing the task under a level of illumination of 150 ft-c, (c) their similarity or differences of performance when compared with a control group of SS performing the same task under a level of illumination of 50 ft-c. Results indicated significant differences in performance between the SS of the 5 and 150 ft-c groups when compared with the control group. Levels of illumination under which the color-word interference task is performed significantly effect performance.
