Frequently asked questions
- What is the Stroop effect?
- The Stroop effect is the delay caused when the meaning of a word (e.g. 'RED') conflicts with its ink color (blue). The brain's automatic word-reading interferes with color identification.
- Can I use keyboard shortcuts?
- Yes — press Y for Yes, N for No, or use the left/right arrow keys.
