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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of emotional congruence on reaction times of alexical decision tasks and found that negative stimuli have a greater impact than positive stimuli.

Item Concreteness and Spatial Location as Sources of Conflict Between Recall and Concurrent Visual Perception
TL;DR: In this article, the relative contributions of spatial organization and item concreteness or picturability to recall processes were investigated by attempting to induce modality-specific interference between recall and response.
Working Memory and Persistent Inhibitory Set: An Individual Differences Investigation
TL;DR: Iwasaki et al. as mentioned in this paper found that participants with high working memory (WM) were less vulnerable to the task-irrelevant intrusions from both outside world and from within their own mind.
The emotional Stroop-task - towards uncovering emotional picture-word interference
TL;DR: In this article, the emotional content of words and pictures was varied to offer matching (congruent) and unmatching pairs, and participants were asked to perform two tasks: 1. Categorize (positive or negative) the word or picture; here pictures were categorized faster than words.
