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 article, the S troop color-word interference test was administered to two groups, right and left movers, to test the hypothesis that right movers do better at tasks requiring visual attention.

Auditory Stroop reveals implicit gender associations in adults and children
TL;DR: In this article, an auditory Stroop revealed implicit gender associations and participants categorized the sex of voices saying names and words stereotypically associated with male, female or neutral gender roles, and children were slower when the voice's sex was stereotypically incongruent with the spoken word or name.

The color-word interference test: The effects of varied color-word combinations upon verbal response latency.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of varied color-word combinations on verbal response latency were investigated. But the results were limited to the color word interference test, and they were not extended to other words.

Picture-word interference increases with target-set size
Wido La Heij,Edwin van den Hof +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that both interference effects increase with the size of the target set, and the use of a relatively small number of target pictures may account for remarkably small, or even nonsignificant, picture-word interference effects in a number of previous studies.

Effects of relaxation and stress on the capsaicin-induced local inflammatory response
Susan K. Lutgendorf,Henrietta L. Logan,H L Kirchner,Nan E. Rothrock,S Svengalis,K. Iverson,David M. Lubaroff +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that stress reduction may affect local inflammatory processes and is consistent with sympathetic modulation of the effects of relaxation on the flare response.
