TLDR
The sources of the word's power to interfere with color-naming and the events involved in the interference itself have not received much attention.Abstract:
Show the words 'red,' 'green,' 'yellow,' and 'blue,' printed in colored inks but in incongruent combinations of color and word, e.g. the word 'red' printed in the color yellow, the word 'yellow' in the color blue, and so on. The Ss are to name the colors (of the inks) as quickly as possible, ignoring the words. It is not easy to do. Invariably, the colors are harder to name than when they are shown in simple strips uncomplicated by words. The phenomenon was noticed by Jaensch, and was first reported in this country by Stroop.1 To say that the word interferes with the naming of the color is a fair reflection of the S's experience. Volume of voice goes up; reading falters; now and then the words break through abortively; and there are embarrassed giggles. These and other signs of strain and effort are common. The sources of the word's power to interfere with color-naming and the events involved in the interference itself have not received much attention,read more

Tracking the time course of processing spatial prepositions using response trajectories
TL;DR: This article found that spatial prepositions give rise to conflict like colour words do in a classic Stroop task, and that this conflict happens roughly between 350ms and 550ms after word onset.
Selective Processing Biases in Anxiety-sensitive M en and W omen
TL;DR: This article found that high anxiety sensitive university students selectively process threat cues pertaining to their feared catastrophic consequences of anxiety, and examined potential gender differences in the selective processing of such threat cues among high versus low AS subjects.

Mental chronometry with simple linear regression
TL;DR: The results indicate the manipulation of the size of a memory set or of angular disparity affects the intercept of the regression function that relates the times for detecting a target character under word and nonword conditions, which ratify the regression approach as a useful method for doing mental chronometry.
