Abstract:
This article reviewed classic and variable Stroop effect paradigms applied in clinic medicine research. The researchers mainly focus on two aspects of this area. Fistly, researchers apply classic and variable paradigms of Stroop effect to study special diseases, by which reserachers can enrich the knowledge of patients' cognitive function and get more information about the curative effect or side-effect of some medicine. These studies also can provide more foundation for farther diagnosis and therapy. Secondly, according to the normal participants' brain areas engaged in Stroop task, researchers applied Stroop task to patients with diseases at the same brain areas as the normal ones. By comparing normal subjects and patients, researchers comfirmed which parts of the brain are involved in Stroop task and what are these areas' functions. The final purpose is enriching the theoretical modal of Stroop effect.
