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

Can automatic picture processing influence word judgments
Stephen J. Lupker,Albert N. Katz +1 more
TL;DR: The results of these experiments indicated that perceptual factors such as lateral masking influence responding in these types of tasks and their contributions must be partialed out from the effects of semantic factors, and picture processing can facilitate word processing but only in a restricted set of circumstances.

The effects of search criteria and retrieval cue availability on memory for words
TL;DR: The effects of search criteria upon recall performance following a word classification task were investigated, and it is argued that the number of congruent encodings formed during classification can be used as an index of elaboration and subsequent memory performance.

Interhemispheric Stroop effects in partial and complete agenesis of the corpus callosum.
TL;DR: Both unilateral and bilateral Stroop interference were found for both ACC and non-ACC groups, with no significant difference in magnitude, indicating that extracallosal pathways are sufficient for mediating this phenomenon.

Picture-word interference is a Stroop effect: A theoretical analysis and new empirical findings
Peter A. Starreveld,Wido La Heij +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the assumption that the same processes underlie verbal interference in color and picture naming is warranted and that the typical Stroop effect and the typical PWI effect mainly differ in the relative contributions of these four components.
