Anyo...Oh man, the title of this post is hilarious.<br /><br />Anyone with an inability to resist the allures of infidelity will presumably have a general deficit inhibiting prepotent responses and will, therefore, do poorly on the Stroop task.<br /><br />Master meditators, of the Tibetian Buddhist tradition at least, perform better on the Stroop task than novice meditators. In the end, performance of this nature is all about training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-78625540387281400262011-06-19T01:42:34.455-07:002011-06-19T01:42:34.455-07:00My colleagues and I have already done extensive wo...My colleagues and I have already done extensive work using adapted Stroop Tests, especially in Eating Disorders. We got the idea from a British grooup who adapted it for Spider Phobia! Naturally we used words for eating and weight-related concerns when we started, but later I invented a few visual Stroop Tests. What an interesting time we would have developing a visual Stroop Test for Mr Weiner and his cohort! As in:<br />AU - Walker, M. Kay<br />AU - Ben-Tovim, David I.<br />AU - Paddick, Steven<br />AU - McNamara, Josh<br />TI - Pictorial adaptation of stroop measures of body-related concerns in eating disorders<br />JO - International Journal of Eating Disorders<br />JA - Int. J. Eat. Disord.<br />VL - 17<br />IS - 3<br />SP - 309<br />EP - 311<br />PY - 1995<br />AB -Patients with eating disorders were asked to color-name pictures of a variety of body shapes. The time taken to color-name these stimuli was compared with the time taken to color-name a series of neutral visual stimuli. There was a significant delay in naming body shapes in comparison to neutral stimuli, and this delay was greater in anorexic and bulimic patients than in controls. Previous Stroop adaptations have used verbal stimuli to assess the intensity of weight and shape-related concerns. The possible advantages of pictorial stimuli are discussed. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Murfomurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975382358013125434noreply@blogger.com
