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

Cross-sex and cross-educational level performance in a color-word interference task
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found significant differences between all elementary and high school Ss and between the elementary and college Ss in a color-word interference task and found that although the females did show a constant trend of better performance than the males, the differences were not significant at the 0. 05 level.

The representation of homophones: evidence from the distractor-frequency effect.
Michele Miozzo,Alfonso Caramazza +1 more
TL;DR: The results of 3 experiments converged in showing that words interfered in proportion to their individual frequency in the language, even if they have high-frequency homophone mates.

What Stroop tasks can tell us about selective attention from childhood to adulthood.
TL;DR: It is concluded that utilizing two tasks together may reveal more about how attention is affected in other groups, and the inadvertent word‐reading hypothesis is settled, whereby facilitation stems from children and the unmixed task promoting inadvertent reading particularly in the congruent condition.

An fMRI Study of Response and Semantic Conflict in the Stroop Task
Benjamin A. Parris,Michael G. Wadsley,Nabil Hasshim,Abdelmalek Benattayallah,Maria Augustinova,Ludovic Ferrand +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for specialized functions of regions of the frontoparietal network in processing response and semantic conflict during Stroop task performance and a role for the right mediodorsal thalamus in processing semantic, but not response, conflict is reported.

Social priming of dyslexia and reduction of the Stroop effect: what component of the Stroop effect is actually reduced?
TL;DR: In the vocal format, dyslexia priming reduces but does not eliminate the normal magnitude of the interference-based Stroop-like findings and that this reduction is solely due to the control of processes involved in the selection of a response - processes that are known to be controllable in this format.
