way despite variations in its image on the eye" (Kolers, 1968, p. 57). In other words, the brain reconstructs incoming sensory information, using such variable factors as judgment and
estimation, in order to make sense of sensory information. Furthermore, there is evidence that how a person expects a object to be oriented influences how objects or characters that are
ambiguous in nature will be perceived (Kolers and Perkins, 1969). Orientation is more significant to perception for some letters. For example, the letter /k/ remains easily recognizable either backwards or
upside down but to read a /b/ correct requires that one know its orientation (Kolers and Perkins, 1969). Experiment: The Stroop effect refers to an aspect of perception that
acknowledges that it is difficult for people to pay close attention to only one features of a perceived object, while ignoring all other features of that object. Stroop had subjects
look at two series of printed color names. In one set, the names of the colors matched the color of the ink in which they were written. In other words,
"red" was written in red ink; "blue" in blue, etc. This set was termed the congruent set because the name was congruent with its color. However, the experiment also included
an incongruent series of color names, i.e., "red" is written in blue ink, etc. Stroop showed that it takes subjects longer to identity the word in the incongruent set and
subjects make more mistakes. Rationale: The Stroop effect hypothesizes that this effect is due to the fact that the incongruent series elicits two cognitive responses, a color response and
a naming response and that conflict occurs when the two responses are not the same. A test of this rationale is to slow down the naming response so that the
