Abstract :Background/Aims: This study examines the effect of imagery on the Stroop effect, which measures interference effects on attention. Methods: The Stroop task requires participants to identify the colour of a word while disregarding its meaning. The study group consisted of 40 participants who underwent 14 weeks of imagery sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. The data collected was analysed using SPSS 25 software, and statistical tests such as the Mann-Whitney U Test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were used to compare pre-test and post-test results. Results: The findings suggest that the imagery study has a positive effect in reducing the Stroop effect. Conclusions: Therefore, it is concluded that the imagery method can be effective in reducing interference in attention. However, further research is recommended to validate these results.
