MY SRP :)
Im thinking of doing an srp to do with people so i came up with this idea... peoples reaction times for different pictures and colours.This is quite hard to explain so it might sound really weird.
i was thinking of having a group of about 30 people to test it on. Maybe different age groups, or males vs females, or both together. it depends on how many males, females, adults, children and teenagers i can recruit.
Method: I think ill hold up posters or cards with those words that says a colour but the word is in a different colour. for example: BLUE was written in red and ill see how long it'll take someone to say the colour instead of the word.
Another type of card that may be shown could be those pictures that shows 2 different objects/things and maybe people in different age groups or genders may see different images at first.
The variables ill be able to control would be the picture cards, the area where the experiment will take place, the amount of people and the time period. The variables might be a bit hard to control but im determined :) The amount of sleep they had the night before, the sounds/ noises in the surroundings, and the brightness/ darkness of the room would all be a contributing factor to the results.
Ive been doing some research and looking up several pictures. Here are some sites:

Thats all i can think of at the moment so :) good luck everyone and bye for now

Interesting topic- Stroop effect could be hard to test. It's hard to time how long it takes for someone to say a word, mainly cause you can say words so quickly- so perhaps you can think of doing an average for 30 words or something...
