How the task works
Read the ink color, not the written word, and answer before moving to the next trial. Accuracy and total time jointly describe this session.
Stroop Color Match
Choose the color of the ink and ignore what the word says.
Choose session length
Start short, then add more rounds as your responses become steady.
Task guide and research
Free Stroop test game: color-word interference practice
The Stroop task creates conflict between a color word and the ink color you must report. The useful challenge is responding to the relevant feature while ignoring the automatic reading response.
Research connection
Stroop's original experiments showed that incongruent color words slow color naming. Modern variants are widely used to study interference and selective attention, although this game is not a standardized Stroop assessment.
How to interpret your result
A better score mainly shows improvement with this response rule and stimulus set. Language, color vision, device latency, and practice can all affect performance.
