Abstract:
The research explored how language proficiency influences the Stroop effect and the reverse-Stroop effect. The result indicated that both the Stroop effect and the reverse-Stroop effect in the dominant language context were greater than the effects in the non-dominant language context, respectively. However, the two factors act synergistically in the Stroop test, whereas antagonistically in the reverse-Stroop test. The results also suggest that the non-dominant language is relatively harder to attract attention. It seems that the difference between the downward interference and the upward interference has a slight impact on the conflict resolution, whereas the binding of different information has a greater impact.
