Interference effects in the picture-word stroop task.
Line drawings of common objects with an embedded three-or four-letter word or scrambled word were presented either to the right or left visual field. Subjects were to name the line drawing of a common object as fast and as accurately as possible. Reaction times and response accuracy were recorded and analyzed. Percent errors were significantly higher when a line drawing with a word was presented in the right visual field than in the left visual field. Sex of subject was not significant. This finding is analogous to results found when the color-word Stroop task is used.
