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

Attentional biases in eating disorders: a meta-analytic review of Stroop performance.
TL;DR: There is evidence of an attentional bias in bulimia for a range of stimuli but that the effect seems to be limited to body/weight stimuli in anorexia.

Controlling Stroop effects by manipulating expectations for color words.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Stroop effect is controllable (see Logan, 1980) and that the locus of control is postlexical and suggest that facilitation and inhibition are produced by different mechanisms.

Intrusive Cognitions: An Investigation of the Emotional Stroop Task

TL;DR: In this article, the role of intrusive cognitions was investigated using the emotional Stroop effect, in which irrelevant threat-related words interfered more with color-naming than neutral words.

TL;DR: Representation and a role mapping that representation into a less abstract representation of what the authors actually say, as represented in (26), are mapped out.
