Stroop effect

The backround for this experiment is that it is a demonstration of reaction of time for example if you put names of colors but are written in other color you need to be quick to say the color of how is written.Many people has done that experiment, they are not quick to say because is very confusing but if you learn it well you can get it right. The stroop effect is conducted in a way where shows how the brain deals with conflicting things. it is the interference in the completion of a task that is caused by one area of the brain dominating and inhibiting the response of other areas that can work good. Agood example like i said before is the color identification task where the words naming a color such as yellow, purple or black are presented in different color of the name. A delay occurs in the proccesing of the color leading to a slower test reaction times and increase the mistakes, it makes an interference.This interference is caused by the dominance of functional of the brain that intertrps written language,where you can see that the brain determine the colors.The Stroop task has been made to study frontal function and attention in brain imaging studies. one example what stroop made is Stroop tested his participants at different stages of practice with each task, to account for the effects of association. Stroop identified a large increase on the time taken by participants to complete the Naming Color Words tasks, an effect still pronounced despite continued practice at each task. The stroop effect is very tricky you need to be full concentrated to make the good choices.

The Myth of Multitasking

1.Many psychologists thinks that multitasking is a myth and they are right is a myth because is impossible that people do that, is like doing soccer juggles with five balls is just impossible and if they can do it they will make it super horrible.

2.the response selection bottleneck refers of doing 2 dual task and how they manage doing it on in puts and out puts.

3.it is true what david meyer said because when you do or want to do miltitasking jobs is to release your strees and adrenaline that makes you do many things at the same time only when you have those effects.

4.what russel pldrack meant is that the multitasking affect the brain learning system because doing many things at the same time the brain gets confused that it dosent know what to do so is very difficult and dangerous doing that, that's why russel poldrack meant to say that.

5. what the author wants to end is that by doing multitasking the culture of right know will loose wisdom and will not be important in the future beause thts affecting their brains.

BaMbuti pygmies

The bambuti pygmies are african midgets that live in congo,Their language belongs to the Central Sudanic subgroup of the Nilo-Saharan phylum.the bambuti pygmies are hunters by blood and they have live in africa for a lon time. they are almost 30,000 to 40,000 pygmies in that region in africa. colin turnbull was a damous british antropologist, he became more famous by presenting a book of forest people he was one of the first antropologists to work on ethnomusicology.he went to congo because he wanted to do a study but not of the pygmies he was so curious about pygmes thats why he wanted to study them and that make him very famous. the pygmies were inexperience they didnt have contact with real life they did not discover new things they never seen people, the only see 7 feets far away because they always have been on the trees, when they saw s things form a big distance they tought it was something else because when the thing got closer they tought it was black magic because they didnt know that if you see something at a long distance it will be smaller and if they saw it close it will be bigger so they were very scared. i think that the pygmies are intelligent people if they could have experience because when colin came to congo he teach them how to interact with humans and different things, he was a teacher for him and thats why they showed him that they trust in him.

colin turnbull

Colin turnbull was a british antropologist, he was known by the forest people. He was born in london he went to a goood school named westminster school and then he went to magdalen college located in oxford, he was well educated that's why he became antropologist. after all his diplomas and degrees he could achive he went to the democratic republic of congo with newton beal a good friend that he met on india. those two started studying the BaMbuti pygmies.during all the time they were but that was not the goal of the trip. An odd job Turnbull picked up while in Africa at this time was working for the Hollywood producer Sam Spiegel. Spiegel hired Turnbull to assist in the construction and transportation of a boat needed for his film.The name of the boat was the african queen and the boat was used in the movie named the african queen.Then returning to Oxford in 1954, he began specializing in the anthropology of Africa. Turnbull remained in Oxford for two years before another field trip to Africa, finally focusing on the then-Belgian Congo and Uganda. After years of fieldwork, he finally achieved his anthropology doctorate from Oxford in 1964.

external factors

The knowledge of familiarity with or expectations about, a given situation or previous experiences will influence perception. External factors refer to the nature characteristics of the stimuli. There is usually a tendency to give more attention to stimuli. Any number of these factors may be presented at a given time or situation. It is therefore, the total pattern of the stimuli together with the context in which they occur that influence perception. For example, it is usually a novel or unfamiliar stimulus that is more of a friend among a group of people all dressed in the same style uniform.

internal factors

Our sensory system have limits, we are not able to see for ‘miles and miles’. Neither we are able to hear very low or very high-pitched sounds. All our senses have specialist nerves, which respond differently to the forms of energy, which are received. For instance, our eyes receive and concert the light waves into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the visual context of the brain and translated into meaning.
