Take The Stroop Test

Read the following group of words.

 

stroop original

 

Now, ignore what each word says and just name each color.

 

Stroop Test

 

If you tripped up a bit on the second group, you’re not alone. You just experienced the Stroop Effect which basically means your brain reads on auto-pilot, and it’s so efficient that it interferes with the harder task of naming the colors.

Try this game based on The Stroop Test.
