This experiment was first conducted by John Ridley Stroop. He could see that people took longer to name the name of the color if it was inked with another color. Psychologists all around the world were fascinated with this experiment and some famous scientists have cited this work over seven hundred times. This experiment consists in placing the name of some colors and has somebody say the name of each color. Then there is a second round in which the color of the name of the color has a color different than the color it is naming. He noticed that people took longer to name in the second round. These results occur because your brain can identify faster the color and then it reads so your brain needs to cancel the first option and then choose the second choice. This is showed with a longer time of reading the word. This is an experiment that shows that multitasking does not exist and that your brain can only take one thing at a time. First, your brain takes the color of the font then, it reads and processes the words so you can understand them as words and then understand what color you need to say.
1. You cannot multitask, you think you can but what you are really doing is changing of task rapidly.
2. This term means that your brain can only focus on one thing so when you think you can think on both things at the same time, you are wrong.
3. This is important because the only thing it does is get you stressed and tired after you spend many time working and you have done almost nothing.
4. He found that people are less effective than if they just focused on one thing at once.
5. All the people would be dumber than before.
The Bambuti pygmies were some little black men who lived their entire life in a mountain with many trees. The sight in their tribe was very short! They could not see more than seven feet away from them. They had lived since many years there. They were not used to what we would call normal people. An investigator called Collin Turnbull went to investigate this tribe. He was amazed with the discoveries he made. He was a lot of time with the men of this tribe to try to understand them. One day he took one of the men that belong to this tribe to the outer world. The man that Turnbull took outside of their tribe was disliked with the fact that the place that they were now did not have trees. During the entire trip the man was disliked with this, after a few moments Turnbull watched some bulls far away. The man said that those were bugs, but Turnbull showed him that those were real bulls. At first the Bambuti pygmy thought that this was witchcraft. After a few moments of the incident Turnbull told this poor man that perspective exists and that when things are very far away they will look very small, but once you get closer to the object you will see the real size of the object. He discovered something important for perception because they perceived in a way their world because they are taught to perceive the way they perceived. This means that we perceive everything because of the way that we have been taught.
Colin Turnbull was born on November 23, 1924 and he died on July 28, 1994. He was a famous British and American anthropologist who researched the Mambuti Tribe. This were some little men and women most of them; African American. They had never had contact with advanced society; they had lived in a very dense forest, so they had never seen more than tan feet beyond them. So when this Colin Turnbull arrived to their tribe they were surprised and did know how to react but he was teaching them some things of the outside world. When Turnbull took one of the indigenous to the valley he was freaked out when he saw some bulls far away and he thought that those were bugs but Turnbull took him where the bulls were so as they got closer to them he watched how the bulls were getting bigger. At first he thought it was witchcraft but after that Turnbull explained of perspective. He said that he did not like this place because it did not have trees. This was because he was used to a place with trees and now that he was with no trees he was feeling strange or in other words, not comfortable.
