Abstract
The effect of irrelevant emotional and neutral stimuli on the performance of a color-naming task is examined with two groups of subjects: pilots and bus drivers. It is found that (1) the emotional stimuli disrupt performance in both groups, (2) the decrement in performance is relatively larger in the pilot group, and (3) the effect of the emotional stimuli appears to persist over time.

A short Pre-examination Questionnaire was developed and, as predicted, worry (W) was inversely related to performance expectancy, and no relationship between expectancy and emotionality (E) was found.

A version of the Stroop test was developed which requires colour naming of spider words and desensitization of phobics significantly reduced interference on the Spider Stroop.

Some features of the data support the theory of dual mechanisms, and the number of correct responses is found to be greatest for neutral words and least for bad words.

A modified (card-sorting) form of the Stroop Color-Word Interference Test was used to evaluate the hypothesis that heightened arousal tends to narrow attention and suggest that the cardsorting Stroop task provides different levels of stimulus competition.
