In the three-layer neural-network model of cognitive processing for the Stroop task,errors are made on the incompatible trials because the connection between the word nodes of the hidden layer and the response nodes is ______________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Stroop task, the word and color are incompatible, so the activation of the hidden layer is expected to be higher for the word nodes than for the color nodes, which leads to a stronger connection between the word nodes and response nodes in the output layer. This stronger connection results in errors on the incompatible trials.
