It is well known that the Stroop effect is subject to influence by same-modality primes, but the possibility of cross-modal priming effects is unclear. Smell is a fundamental sensory system that is assumed to have potent cross-modality priming effects. We might expect the presence of a specific odor to interfere with performance on Stroop cards containing odor-congruent words. Forty participants, half of whom were primed with an unpleasant odor and half with a pleasant odor, were examined with modified Stroop cards containing pleasant and unpleasant descriptive words. A significant Stroop card by odor group interaction was found, indicating that the presence of an odor interferes with the performance on an odor-congruent Stroop card. These findings demonstrate cross-modality priming between olfaction and vision.
众所周知，斯特鲁普效应会受到同模态启动刺激的影响，但跨模态启动效应的可能性尚不清楚。嗅觉是一种基本的感觉系统，被认为具有强大的跨模态启动效应。我们可能会预期特定气味的存在会干扰包含与气味一致单词的斯特鲁普卡片任务的表现。40名参与者，其中一半用难闻气味进行启动，另一半用愉悦气味进行启动，使用包含愉悦和不愉快描述性单词的改良斯特鲁普卡片进行测试。发现了气味组与斯特鲁普卡片之间的显著交互作用，表明气味的存在会干扰与气味一致的斯特鲁普卡片任务的表现。这些发现证明了嗅觉和视觉之间的跨模态启动效应。
