Suppose that Susan is taking the Stroop test, and the first item shows the word red, printed in blue ink. According to your textbook, one reason that she will have trouble reporting the ink color (blue) for this item is that
 
  a. she has had more experience in reading words than in identifying ink colors.
  b. colors have more emotional meaning than words do.
  c. colorful arrangements of visual stimuli can actually facilitate an adult's reading ability.
  d. the left eye processes word meaning and the right eye processes the color of a stimulus.

Question 2

Clinical psychologists have conducted research on the Stroop effect. This research shows that
 
  a. individuals who have a phobia have trouble reporting the color of words related to their phobia.
  b. individuals who have a phobia want to avoid words related to their particular phobia, so they report the ink color of these words quickly and accurately.
  c. individuals who are depressed perform more accurately on the Stroop task than do nondepressed individuals.
  d. the performance of individuals with psychological disorders does not differ significantly from the performance of control-group individuals.
