A comparison between different variants of the spatial Stroop task: The influence of analytic flexibility on Stroop effect estimates and reliability
The spatial Stroop task measures the ability to resolve interference between relevant and irrelevant spatial information. We recently proposed a...

The Stroop legacy: A cautionary tale on methodological issues and a proposed spatial solution
The Stroop task is a seminal paradigm in experimental psychology, so much that various variants of the classical color–word version have been...

Effects of alerting signals on the spatial Stroop effect: evidence for modality differences
Reaction times and error rates to a target’s identity are impaired when the target is presented in a location that mismatches the response required,...
-
On the relationship between spatial attention and semantics in the context of a Stroop paradigm
A controversial issue in the literature on single word reading concerns whether semantic activation from a printed word can be stopped. Several...
-
A spatial version of the Stroop task for examining proactive and reactive control independently from non-conflict processes
Conflict-induced control refers to humans’ ability to regulate attention in the processing of target information (e.g., the color of a word in the...

Stroop Task in Mindfulness Research
The Stroop task is a commonly used assessment tool in cognitive science. It presents stimuli that contain two conflicting informational aspects and...

Are eyes special? Gaze, but not pointing gestures, elicits a reversed congruency effect in a spatial Stroop task
Gaze stimuli can shape attention in a peculiar way as compared to non-social stimuli. For instance, in a spatial Stroop task, gaze stimuli elicit a...

Emotional Stroop Task in Mindfulness Research
The traditional color Stroop task tests the ability for a person to respond to the color of ink a word is printed in and inhibit the incongruent...

Semantic Stroop interference is modulated by the availability of executive resources: Insights from delta-plot analyses and cognitive load manipulation
We investigated whether, during visual word recognition, semantic processing is modulated by attentional control mechanisms directed at matching...

The role of spatial uncertainty in the context-specific proportion congruency effect
The prime-probe version of the Stroop task has been predominantly used to demonstrate the context-specific proportion congruency (CSPC) effect. In...

The Stroop Task Sex Difference: Evolved Inhibition or Color Naming?
Previous research shows that women outperform men in the classic Stroop task, but it is not known why this difference occurs. There are currently two...

Making a saccade enhances Stroop and Simon conflict control
Cognitive control is an important ability instantiated in many situations such as conflict control (e.g., Stroop/Simon task) and the control of eye...

Limitations of cognitive control on emotional distraction – Congruency in the Color Stroop task does not modulate the Emotional Stroop effect
Emotional information receives prioritized processing over concurrent cognitive processes. This can lead to distraction if emotional information has...

The loci of Stroop effects: a critical review of methods and evidence for levels of processing contributing to color-word Stroop effects and the implications for the loci of attentional selection
Despite instructions to ignore the irrelevant word in the Stroop task, it robustly influences the time it takes to identify the color, leading to...

Can the Stroop effect serve as the gold standard of conflict monitoring and control? A conceptual critique
The Stroop effect has been a key to the assay of selective attention since the time of the epoch-making study by J.R. Stroop almost a century ago....

Alertness and cognitive control: Interactions in the spatial Stroop task
Cognitive control over information processing can be implemented by selective attention, but it is often suboptimal, as indicated by congruency...

Replacing vertical actions by mouse movements: a web-suited paradigm for investigating vertical spatial associations
The number of web-based studies in experimental psychology has been growing tremendously throughout the last few years. However, a straightforward...

Interference scores have inadequate concurrent and convergent validity: Should we stop using the flanker, Simon, and spatial Stroop tasks?
BackgroundTwo-hundred one college undergraduates completed four nonverbal interference tasks (Simon, spatial Stroop, vertical Stroop, and flanker)...

Spatial attention shifts contribute to the size congruity effect
The size congruity effect in a numerical Stroop task shows that magnitude judgments of two numbers are faster and more accurate when the numerically...
