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

Two-to-one color-response mapping and the presence of semantic conflict in the Stroop task
Nabil Hasshim,Benjamin A. Parris +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that same-response trials are not different from neutral trials indicating that they cannot be used reliably to determine the presence or absence of semantic category conflict.

TL;DR: Kindergarteners, first graders, and third graders performed a discrete-trial Stroop task in which they named the colors of stimuli that either matched or did not match items that were being concurred with.

Disentangling Genuine Semantic Stroop Effects in Reading from Contingency Effects: On the Need for Two Neutral Baselines.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the Stroop effects for color and associated stimuli are sensitive to the type of neutral baseline used, as well as stimulus type (word vs. word), and appropriate pair-frequency matched neutral baselines allow for the assessment of genuine facilitation and interference.

A Stroop-like effect in color-naming of color-word lexigrams by a chimpanzee (Pan troglodyte).
TL;DR: The authors tested a chimpanzee that had learned to associate geometric symbols called lexigrams with specific colors and showed a Stroop-like effect when researchers presented to her the previously learned symbols for colors in incongruent font colors.

The acquisition of simple associations as observed in color-word contingency learning.
Olivia Y. H. Lin,Colin MacLeod +1 more
TL;DR: The color–word contingency task provides a simple way to directly study the learning of associations and allowed separation of the contingency learning effect into 2 components: a cost due to low contingency and a benefit due to high contingency.
