Stroop: a color-and-word attention exercise

An educational exercise that demonstrates the Stroop effect — naming a word's ink color is harder when the word spells a different color. Not a test, score, or diagnosis.

Words will flash in different ink colors. Tap the button that matches the color the word is printed in — not what the word says. Naming the ink color is trickier when the word spells a different color: that's the Stroop effect. The run lasts about a minute.

The word RED printed in blue → press BLUE

The word GREEN printed in green → press GREEN
