Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stroop effect relies on the conflict between the word's meaning and the ink color in order to cause interference. If the words are printed in a language that the participant does not understand, there is no conflict between the word's meaning and the ink color, and thus the Stroop effect will not occur. The other answer choices do not prevent the Stroop effect from occurring, but rather may affect the strength of the effect.
