Your task is simple: say the colour of the ink, not the word itself. This may sound easy, but the Stroop effect creates mental conflict because your brain naturally wants to read the word automatically. The challenge is to stay focused, avoid autopilot, and respond as quickly and accurately as possible. This video includes: • 5 levels of Stroop Test challenges • 20 words in each round • Increasing speed as the levels progress • An optional bonus round for an extra challenge • A fun way to test your attention, focus, and mental control The Stroop Test was first published by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935 and has been widely used in psychology and brain research to study attention, interference, inhibition, and cognitive control. ⚠️ Disclaimer These videos present cognitive challenges inspired by tasks used in psychological research.
