...Causes of the Stroop Effect Matt Sheehan, M.S. Carolyn Rude-Parkins, Ph.D. University of Louisville November, 2007 Introduction The words blue, green, and yellow are words known to all as colors. If one of these color words is written in an ink color differing from the color it represents an individual spends more time to name that ink color than the ink color of neutral words. This is known as the Stroop effect. Studying this gives insight into the human mind. It can show how we handle interference across a number of different situations or how our automatic processes interact with and affect our controlled processes. The cause of the Stroop effect has been widely debated and researched over the years. Some researchers believe the cause is due to the fact that reading is such a well learned or even over learned process that it becomes automatic. When asked to identify ink colors of words reading the word causes distraction because reading is done much more often than naming ink colors. But where is the exact interference occurring in this process and why? It has been suggested that the interference occurs at the output or response stage as an individual struggles to express the correct color word from alternatives. Others believe the interference happens during encoding as an individual analyzes the word and is distracted from ink color. Still others would say it happens somewhere between the encoding and the output. All of these suggestions have various...

...| TEFL 4- Active with words | Home assignments | | | | Nelsi van Cleef | 2012/2013 | | Home assignment I: ICT Using ICT to teach/practice/test vocabulary http://mike.digischool.nl/ This website offers a broad range of subjects for pupils, from History, Turkish and Math, to English. The pupils can click on “Engels” and then on “oefenen”, where they can practice everything that has to do with the English language, for example reading,listening and speaking. Since this is about vocabulary they can click on “woordenschat”. In the vocabulary section they get 4 choices : woordengroepen, spreekwoorden en gezegden, schoolboeken and WRTS-lijsten. In each of these sections they can practice their vocabulary. The “spreekwoorden en gezegden” section especially appealed to me. This section gives a lot of English proverbs with the Dutch translation, by alphabet. Since there are a lot of sayings in Dutch, and the pupils probably know them, they can also learn them in English. As a teacher the teacher can write down a new proverb every day on the board and start the lesson with elaborating on this, for example: “A man’s home is is castle”. The way the teacher can elaborate on this is by putting this proverb in context, asking the pupils what this proverb may be in Dutch (Eigen haard is goud waard), and asking pupils to give an example by using it. www.freerice.com This website is a non-profit website that supports the United Nations World Food Programme...

...University Northridge were recruited. Each signed up for the experiment through the SONA system for class credit. They were randomly assigned to one of the two different conditions; one being a pizza odor filled room and the other an odorless room. Materials The materials used in our experiment were a cheese pizza from the supermarket Fresh and Easy, the pizza was used in one of the two conditions to fill the room with its overpowering stench. A consent form which was given to the participants before the experiment was conducted. They were given a pen and a standard sized piece of paper (8.5" x 11") to write on. We used an Apple brand iPad to run a PowerPoint slide show of the words to be memorized and a timer on an Apple brand iPhone to time the participants after the slide show to see how many words they were able to recall from the word list shown on the slide show. Stimuli The stimuli used for our experiment was a word list generated from the Vancouver Word List. We used a number generator to randomly select number and then matched the corresponding number from the word list and used the word that went with that number in our word list. We also made a separate word list by using Google and searching some other odor related words, and since one of the conditions used would be a pizza odor we constructed a third word list through Google search consisting of Italian food related words. From the three lists we randomly assigned the words into one list. Procedure Each participant...

...constitutes a "word" involves determining where one word ends and another word begins—in other words, identifying word boundaries. There are several ways to determine where the word boundaries of spoken language should be placed: Potential pause: A speaker is told to repeat a given sentence slowly, allowing for pauses. The speaker will tend to insert pauses at the word boundaries. However, this method is not foolproof: the speaker could easily break up polysyllabic words, or fail to separate two or more closely related words. Indivisibility: A speaker is told to say a sentence out loud, and then is told to say the sentence again with extra words added to it. Thus, I have lived in this village for ten years might become My family and I have lived in this little village for about ten or so years. These extra words will tend to be added in the word boundaries of the original sentence. However, some languages have infixes, which are put inside a word. Similarly, some have separable affixes; in the German sentence "Ich komme gut zu Hause an", the verb ankommen is separated. Phonetic boundaries: Some languages have particular rules of pronunciation that make it easy to spot where a word boundary should be. For example, in a language that regularly stresses the last syllable of a word, a word boundary is likely to fall after each stressed syllable. Another example can be seen in a language that has vowel harmony (like Turkish):[5] the vowels within a given word share the...

...course may be a bit difficult for you, however please don't worry as I am always here to help you. This week we are putting our focuses on the "Word Power" conference. This conference has been set up for students to participate in a fun new way of introducing new words and phrases. These words and phrases are English culture specific and may be difficult to learn, however with my help I am hoping you will understand the definition of the word as well as understand the phrases that this word provokes. In this conference we are discussing the word "Joe". Joe is a simple word, yet is used in so many ways to refer to so much. The word "Joe" in its simplest form is a noun and refers to a person, place or thing. Its most common reference is to a person; "Joe" is a name or nickname. It has become an easy way to refer to other phrases that mean more than just a name. The word is very informal and is used in a casual context. The military community has also adopted the word "Joe" and it used to refer to a cup of coffee, "May I have a cup of Joe to go with my breakfast?" In addition the Armed Forces use the word to refer to a United States soldier anywhere in the world (G.I. Joe), again this is a very informal way of addressing a military personnel. The abbreviation to "G.I." stands for Government Issued. While these are the most common use of the word there are many more....

...Literary Devices and Terms Literary devices are specific language techniques which writers use to create text that is clear, interesting, and memorable. Alliteration - repeated consonant sound at the beginning of words or within words; used to establish mood and rhythm in a story; true alliteration has three words beginning with the same sound (two words beginning with the same sound would be called alliterative) Examples: bucking bronco; miserable morning; Bed, Bath, and Beyond Allusion - a reference in one story to a well-known character or event from another story, history, or place Examples: the rise of the baseball team from last place to first was a real Cinderella story; at times teachers need the wisdom of Solomon to make decisions Ambiguity - when a single event or expression can mean two different things to two different people Example: When it is announced that another baby is on the way, Father remarks, “That could create some problems.” He means problems with money, but his young son thinks, “You’re right, dad! I don’t want to share my room and toys with anybody!” Analogy - comparing one thing to another very different thing in order to explain it better Examples: a school is like a garden, where children are lovingly raised and cared for; the rabbit shot from its hole like a rocket; the confetti fell like snow in a blizzard as the parade passed through the city streets (these three analogies are all written as similes) Aphorism - a brief...

...thing I saw was the scowling face of Yuzan and the powerful streaks coming from behind his head. This panel is placed almost exactly in the middle of the page and takes up quite a bit of space. I think the reason for this is because it’s important to express to the reader how angry, mean and shocked Yuzan is when he finds out his son cooked the Dashi dish. The top tier consists of two panels, one rounded edge word balloon and two jagged edged word balloons. Since we are reading, not hearing, the conversation, it is a little hard to understand how things are being stated (i.e. tone, pitch, or loudness). I believe the artist makes up for this through the characteristics of word balloons. Simply based on what is said in each word balloon, I have come to the conclusion that if the word balloon has a jagged edge, then it represents a more powerful, angry or important description. If the word balloon has a smooth or rounded edge to it, then the voice is most likely softer, less important or a conversation happening in the background of the scene. The appearances of the word balloons are also methodically placed. In the panel where Yuzan is yelling, one of the word balloons is cut off by the outline, while the other spreads across and overlaps the outline of the panel. I think the artist placed the jagged edged word balloon in such a way that it gives it more power or a “boom-like” affect. The second tier from the bottom, first panel, is...

...components work collectively to create a meaningful communication between individuals. Language is the ability to understand both spoken and written words, and to produce meaningful words when someone speaks or writes. Language can be a complex skill set that encompasses countless difficult processes, such as biological, mental and social skills. First Level Phonology Phonology is the study of sound. These reverberations need to be recalled and understood appropriately according to the language. Phonemes create up words, which must be remembered and understood correctly according to the language. Words consist of sentences, which must be recognized and understood correctly according to the language. Sentences consist of words, which must be remembered and understood correctly according to the language. Phonology can also consist of hand signals, gestures or rhymes. Phonology is different from phonetics it involves the way sounds are used to deliver a meaning. Examples of Phonology In the English language sounds of speech is one example of phonology which is either a consonant or vowel. Phonemes are not actually spoken sound it is more of a representation of sound. For example the word goat. It has the O sound which can be got. Another example can be the word Bear it has the ER sound which could be Ber. You can have two words that have the different meaning but the same sound such as cat/sat tub/hub. “The M sound for example is made by closing the mouth while opening the...

... G. THE TRANSCULTURAL APPEAL OF THE MESSAGE. The Bible has a universal appeal, whether people read it during the first century of the church or in the modern twenty-first century. There seems to be a common spirit in receiving, interpreting, internalizing and applying the message of the Scripture. Although nearly 2,000 years old, the Bible always seems to be up to date and meets the needs of its readers. The universal appeal extends to all races. Seldom does anyone take the attitude that Orientals wrote the Bible. As a matter of fact, many linguists have pointed out that the “translatableness” of the Bible is another demonstration that it is a unique book whose Author is God. No matter what language, the Bible’s message comes through clearly when it is translated from one language to another. The argument for the universal appeal applies to the rich as well as to the poor. The Bible is found in the bookcases of the rich, as well as on the coffee tables of the poor. And, finally, all ages love the Word of God, from children to the elderly. Because God wanted to communicate to all people, in all circumstances, at all periods of time, and at all levels of society, He supernaturally endowed the Bible with His Spirit so that it would have a universal appeal. While not a conclusive argument, it reaffirms the others when taken en masse. We’re living in the world of many different culture...

BY ED M. WOOD When I left university I felt like I was bursting through a set of saloon swing doors, arms loaded with qualifications about to hold up the professional world until they handed over the job of my dreams. I think many graduates feel like this, and this misplaced confidence compounds the disappointment when the professional world shrugs its collective shoulders. My reaction to this disappointment was to turn my back on the opportunity vacuum and stock up on soft skills. I googled for TEFL courses in Spain, found a charming townlet called Zamora in Castilla y Leon and booked myself a one-way ticket. My Spanish education, albeit informal, started almost as soon as we touched down. I was tasked with navigating my way across Madrid weighed down by my backpack and an oppressive, immovable mid-summer mugginess. Your relationship...
