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

Activation of L1 orthography in L2 word reading: Constraints from language and writing system
TL;DR: In this paper, the question is how and at what level: lexical, pre-lexical, or both for reading in a second language, a reader's first language may be involved.

TL;DR: Performance on the Serial Colour Word Test (CWT), assumed to reflect cognitive adaptive processes, was studied in a group of criminals and subgroups of psychopathic and anxiety-prone subjects were identified.

Stimulus and response conflict from a second language: Stroop interference in weakly-bilingual and recently-trained languages.
Iva Saban,James R. Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: This article investigated the source of congruency effects in weak bilinguals and in early language learning and found that the relatively low-proficient second language words are potent enough to affect semantic identification and response selection.

Stroop-Like Effects of Derived Stimulus-Stimulus Relations.
TL;DR: Results indicate that derived color-word associates induce Stroop effects, but this effect is present only when sufficient attention is allocated to the distractor words during the Stroop task, and is driven by a response conflict.
