Title

A quantitive study using 20 participants who will be asked to describe the colour ink that one set of associated words is printed in and also the colour ink that a set of neutral words is printed in, whilst being timed.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted, using a group of participants, of both sexes and of varied ages. Results were gathered by the participants being asked to describe the colour ink that was used for two sets of words, one set being related to the ink colour and the other being a set of neutral words. The participants were given a number (1-20) and those with an odd number completed the first set of words (Condition 1) first, followed by the second set of words (Condition 2), whereas those with even numbers completed condition 2 first, followed by condition 1. This was done to even the balance of the results and to give variation....
