Stroop — attention & inhibition

💡Benefits

The Stroop effect (Stroop, 1935) is one of psychology's most famous experiments. When a word's meaning and colour conflict, suppressing the wrong answer trains attention control and executive function (Diamond, 2013).

🎮How to play

A colour word appears, but it is painted in a different colour. Choose the INK colour, not the WORD's meaning.
