The STROOP EFFECT shows how the brain deals with conflicting information. It is interference in the completion of a task caused by one area of the brain dominating and inhibiting the response of other functional areas. Take a look at the following list of words: yellow, red, green, purple, brown, blue. Name the colors each word is displayed in as fast as you can. You may find that you hesitate or stumble, because your brain is attempting to process two conflicting pieces of information: a color, and a word naming a color. Most Stroop Testing includes a much longer list.
This interference is caused by the dominance of functional area of the brain that interprets written language, where the brain determines the meaning of words. Interpreting written language and speaking are classified by scientists as a "local stimuli."
