Resumen de Mesurer la résistance à l'interférence chez l'enfant: élaboration d'un nouveau test à « effet Stroop »
Valérie Pennequin, Isabelle Nanty, Abdelhamid Khomsi
Age-related changes in resistance to interference were examined on a new task, the « Stroop-drawing ». This task was constructed to be isomorphous to the original Stroop task (1935), but the resistance to interference was not based on subjects' reading capacities. Nine-year olds, 12-year olds and young adults were tested on the original Stroop task and on the « Stroop-drawing » task. The findings showed that performances on each task follow the same evolution throughout the age groups. These results suggest that the « Stroop-drawing » task measures resistance-to-interference capacities without requiring subjects' reading capacities.
