Try testing yourself on the Stroop Task and keep a record of your Reaction Time for each Condition!

Remember to just report the color of the font, without "reading" the words.

In your response entry, (1) put in your Reaction Times for each of the congruent vs. incongruent color/word conditions ("normal" vs. "interference") that you tried, and (2) try to describe why one of them was harder and why it took longer than the other.
