Pupillary Stroop effects
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
We recorded the pupil diameters of participants
performing the words’ color-naming Stroop task (i.e., naming the color of a word that names a color). Non-color words were used as baseline to firmly establish the effects of semantic relatedness induced by color word distractors. We
replicated the classic Stroop effects of color congruency and color incongruency with pupillary diameter recordings: ...

In a randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial it is assumed that psychosocial effects of the treatment, regression to the mean and spontaneous remission are identical in the drug and placebo group. Consequently, any difference between the groups can be ascribed to the pharmacological effects. Previous studies suggest that side effects of drugs can enhance expectancies of treatment effects in the ...
