Nearing Stroop Effect Replication via Neuroevolution

We present the next step in our study of cognitive abilities by using evolutionary computation. To this end we use a spatial, developmental, neuroevolution system. We use our existing system to evolve ANNs to perform simple abstractions of the cognitive tasks color identification and reading. We define these tasks to explore hypotheses about the the Stroop effect. Our results show the versatility of our evolutionary system. We successfully replicate many of the qualities of the Stroop effect.
