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: This paper found that clinically anxious subjects show an attentional bias towards threat cues specific to their disorder, while anxious non-clinical subjects show bias towards general threat, but methodological concerns preclude absolute statements.

Instrument inferences and verb schemata
TL;DR: This article used the Stroop paradigm to examine the activation of instruments in sentence comprehension, including tools and body parts, and found no evidence that abstract knowledge of the instruments is even activated.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the view that visible speech is processed up to a late, response-related processing stage, as predicted by the motor theory of speech perception.

Color-naming interference in monolinguals and bilinguals
TL;DR: This article found that Spanish-English bilinguals named colors in both languages with color stimuli that were either Spanish color names, English color names or control Xs, and that color naming was slowest when the naming language and the language of the color names was the same.
