Abstract

Discussion:

The results of this study indicated that all time scores decreased as age/grade increased and this was statistically significant. The results were discussed in the light of the literature.

Results:

Test-retest raliability analysis was conducted on 92 subjects.The reliability coefficients for the time scores were found to change between .63 and .81. The time scores were found to be reliable, thus further analysis were conducted on these scores. Sex main effect was found for the time scores of the 4th and 5th parts. Age/grade x sex interaction effect was significant for the part three time score.

Method:

The subjects were 402 students 1st through 5th grades, between the ages of6-11 (72-132 months). The subjects were equally distributed to age/grade and sex groups. The first grade students were between 72-84 months, second grade students were between 85-96 months and 3rd, 4th and 5th grades were between 97-108, 109-120 and 121-132 months respectively.

Objective:

The aim of this study is; 1) to find the norms of the Stroop Test TBAG Form in the 6-11 year old age group, 2) to conduct a reliability analysis by the test-retest method, 3) to assess the development of the cognitive properties such as attention and inhibition which the test measures and 4) to find the age/grade and sex effects on the development of cognitive properties.

Keywords: Stroop Test TBAG Form, attention, inhibition
