The Stroop effect typically demonstrates that as individuals age and their reading skills become more automatic, they find it harder to name the color of the word rather than the word itself. A 5-year-old, who is likely just learning to read or not as proficient in reading as older individuals, would be least affected because the automaticity of reading, which causes the interference, is not as developed.
