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

A Time-Based Account of the Perception of Odor Objects and Valences
TL;DR: Object evaluation was faster and more accurate than valence evaluation and Responses were quicker for odors preceded by semantically matching, rather than nonmatching, word labels, but results showed no evidence of interference from valence on non matching trials.

The locus of interference in the Stroop and related tasks
E. C. Dalrymple-Alford,J. Azkoul +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of semantic factors on color-word interference in a color comparison task was investigated and it was concluded that the locus or interference is after, and not during, the processing of the word component of colour-word stimuli.

Mapping symbols to response modalities : Interference effects on stroop-like tasks
TL;DR: It was shown that response compatibility played a significant role in generating Stroop-like interference and that both stimulus-response compatibility effects and target-distractor similarity are crucial for understanding Strooperative interference.

Stroop Interference and Color-Word Similarity
TL;DR: This article found that the amount of interference obtained is related to color-word similarity, suggesting that word-reading and color-naming processes interact at a conceptual level prior to response emission.
