Stroop Effect和蝴蝶效應有沒有關係呢?答案是沒有!Stroop Effect是在1935年的時候,由一位實驗心理學家John Ridley Stroop所提出的。這個效應是說,當我們看到代表某個顏色的字,譬如說:RED,我們當然會唸RED。但是當看到的字填上了和字代表的顏色相異的顏色,我們反應的速度就會變慢,譬如說:RED,我們會先想唸出RED,再來才想唸BLUE。Stroop將實驗進一步分成兩種:(1) 唸出字意義上代表的顏色。(2)唸出字看起來的顏色。當我們要唸出上了不同的顏色的字,就會發生幾毫秒的延遲,我們就稱之為Stroop Effect了!


下面是這個實驗的簡單版本,我們要做的就是打下我們看見的字的顏色,請注意是字看起來的顏色,而非字意義上代表的顏色。紅色就按r(代表red)、黃色就按y(代表yellow)、綠色就按g(代表green)、藍色就按b(代表blue),按完之後可以按空白鍵繼續,直到實驗結束,他會輸出一張表格,紀錄你答對的題數和反應的時間。

我在下面post一下我自己的測驗結果給各位參考吧:) (時間單位為毫秒,一秒鐘等於1000毫秒)

後來的人也做了更多變化,包括使用數字的差別來測驗Stroop Effect(出現三個字寫著TWO),或是在動物圖片上面寫著不同動物的名字(鴿子圖片上面寫著CAT)等等。至於神經生理上面對Stroop Effect的解釋,目前則是有幾種假設,像是神經元之間傳遞速度的差別,視覺和語言訊息在傳遞上的速度有所不同;注意力的假設則是認為顏色分辨需要比較多注意力才能唸出來,意義分辨上則是比較不需要注意力。某些人還發現anterior cingulate area和Stroop Effect可能有些關係。

紅色箭頭指出cingulate cortex以及小腦(cerebellum)
Anterior Cingulate Cortex(前扣帶皮質)(Yahoo!字典)
總之,這是個有趣的效應,至於神經生理的機制,就留給有興趣的人繼續研究吧!

我懷疑這份測試有問題,我在測試過程中的主要障礙是當我看到顏色以後,我必須先轉換成英文單字,然後再取首字母,才能作答;如果是同顏色同字義的題目,就可以直接根據畫面字母和個人自身的打字熟練度來快速作答。
我將r,g,b,y改成z,x,c,v避開這個問題再測一次(IE7不支援,害我要跑到另一台電腦上開firefox…),測出的結果就很相近,大約在7~800毫秒,這回主要的障礙在z,x,c,v的熟悉度…。

嗯…
這個測驗我以前就作過了
和語言其實沒有甚麼差異
如果換成是用國語來作
其結果也是類似的
(可能英文的會花比較長的時間)
Stroop Effect和蝴蝶效應有沒有關係呢 當然沒有關係啊 為什麼開頭會有這一句話 搜尋的時候真的有點嚇到 前者是心理學的 後者是氣象學的 後來引伸到組織變革與危機管理上 真的好冷的依據開場白呀 不過 Stroop Effect的本意還是沒有解釋清楚 這跟大腦的注意力有限比較有關係~
