Tinnitus and Cognitive Interference: A Stroop Paradigm Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Andersson, Gerhard; Eriksson, Jan; Lundh, Lars-Gunnar; Lyttkens, Leif – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2000
This study examined the performance of 23 tinnitus patients on three versions of the Stroop color-word test. Results showed that tinnitus patients performed significantly slower than controls on all test conditions. Results suggest that tinnitus patients have impaired cognitive performance overall, possibly confounded by hearing impairment.…

Information-Processing Correlates of Reported Sexual Abuse in Eating-Disordered and Comparison Women.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waller, Glenn; Ruddock, Angela – Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 1995
An adaptation of the Stroop Test (using colored words related to sexual abuse) impaired color-naming in eating-disordered women (n=50) and in comparison women reporting sexual abuse. The interference effect was related to abuse characteristics, degree of bulimic psychopathology, and frequency of binging. A two-stage model of cognitive reaction to…

Panek, Paul E.; Rush, Michael C. – 1985
Older adults are significantly slower than young adults in the naming response in the Stroop Color Word Interference Test. Hypotheses attempting to explain this age-related difference in a perceptual-cognitive task have included orthogenic principle, response-competition, and cautiousness. This study examines whether there are any significant…

Auditory Stroop Effects in Children with Hearing Impairment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jerger, Susan; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
An auditory Stroop task was administered to 20 children with hearing impairment (ages 3-10) and 60 normal-hearing children. Results suggest that the voice-gender and semantic dimensions of speech were not processed independently by children with or without hearing loss. Speech processing by children with hearing impairment was carried out in a…

Attention and Attentional Shift Efficiency in Individuals with and without Mental Retardation.
Bergen, Anne-Marie E.; Mosley, James L. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1994
This study, involving adults with and without mental retardation and mental age-matched children, employed a lateralized presentation of Stroop color words, neutral words, and the subject's first name. Individuals with mental retardation experienced difficulty in effortful processing (inhibiting the reading response on the Stroop trials) and in…

Further Evidence for Cognitive Inertia of Persons with Mental Retardation.
Ellis, Norman R.; Dulaney, Cynthia L. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1991
Forty young adults with mental retardation (MR) were compared to 40 young adults without mental retardation in tests examining postpractice interference effects in naming colors of Stroop words. The study concluded that practice developed automatized reading suppression responses which held greater cognitive inertia for longer periods among MR…
