Abstract
Verbal reaction times have been shown to be longer when depressed-content words are presented to depressed subjects in a Stroop task format. This finding is confirmed with more conventional parameters to define the task and psychometrically improved definitions of depression. Unexpectedly, depressed-content words produced significantly longer latencies only in subjects with Beck Depression Inventory scores in the 9–16 range. It was concluded that the measurement of construct accessibility with this technique is still in the exploratory stage.

Results were interpreted as evidence that the individual content of danger schemata determine the type of material that is selectively processed, while the extent of interference observed depends on current anxiety level.

Lyperimental findings were emphasized in contrast to the results of correlational studies, and the bulk of the material was produced since the 1966 review of Jensen and Rohwer, to illustrate use of the Stroop paradigm as a too! for the stud)’ of other psychological processes.

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.

The results suggest that transient mood is not a sufficient explanation for the results obtained in Experiment 1, and the implications of the present findings for the understanding of both construct accessibility and depression are discussed.

The data suggest the following temporal relations: (a) a slow facilitation due to response bias; (b) its inhibitory counterpart; and (c) a fast, strong inhibition with no facilitatory complement that seems to correspond to the usual Stroop conflict but that appears to occur earlier than the response execution stage.

Six laboratory experiments on learned helplessness and depression in humans reported by Seligman and his colleagues were critically reviewed and it was suggested that heuristic theories such asSeligman's should be closely examined before psychologists embark on an extensive series of experimental tests.
