#stroop test

I went to the library and forgot my tablet, so I had to walk all the way there and alllll the way back.

In psychology, the Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. When the name of a color (e.g., "blue", "green", or "red") is printed in a color that is not denoted by the name (e.g., the word "red" printed in blue ink instead of red ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color. The effect has been used to create a psychological test (Stroop test) that is widely used in clinical practice and investigation.

The Stroop Test is used in psychology to show how certain types of information can interfere with others. The test can measure attention, processing speed, and cognitive flexibility: for example, you may be slower or make slightly more errors if you're distracted, tired, or at a higher-than-normal altitude, and even more so if you're suffering from dementia or other brain damage. Adults are also faster at Stroop tasks than children. The Stroop test has even been released as a game that claims to exercise your brain, although I'm not sure how effective it actually is.
