The Stroop task is a classic test used to measure cognitive control and is typically conducted by asking participants to name the ink color of a written word that is either congruent (e.g. the word "red" written in red ink) or incongruent (e.g. the word "red" written in blue ink) with its meaning. The important variable in the Stroop task is the congruency between the word and its ink color, as this creates interference and slows down reaction times in incongruent trials.
