This experiment is a replication of the Stroop Effect originally done by John Ridley Stroop in 1935. The aim of this experiment was to demonstrate how interference affects the reaction time of a certain task. The experiment was performed multiple times and the participants were chosen using convenience sampling due to the limited environment. The independent variable was the colored and the dependent variable was the reaction time as it varies from person to person. The participants were given a two prompt, one with monochrome colors and one with colored words. Once they were done reading the list of words, their time is taken down. The results were that the monochrome words reaction time were an average of 11.79 seconds, whereas the colored
