Despite instructions to ignore the irrelevant word in the Stroop task, it robustly influences the
time it takes to identify the color, leading to performance decrements (interference) or …

Various lines of research have independently reported that different interventions reduce or
even eliminate Stroop interference. Because such findings have been interpreted as …

Recent studies have shown that the suggestion for participants to construe words as
meaningless symbols reduces, or even eliminates, standard Stroop interference in highly …

The aim of this paper is to extend the so-called semantic Stroop paradigm (Neely & Kahan,
2001)–which already successfully distinguishes between the contribution of the semantic vs …

We investigated how linguistic intention affects the time course of visual word recognition by
comparing the brain's electrophysiological response to a word's lexical frequency, a well …

Abstract Since Stroop (1935), semantic access has been seen as automatic but today this is
questioned, following minor modifications of the Stroop task. Besner, Stolz and Boutilier …

This research addressed current controversies concerning the contribution of semantic
conflict to the Stroop interference effect and its reduction by a single-letter coloring and …

The standard view in cognition is that the identification of visually presented words, up to
and including semantic activation, is automatic in various senses. The perspective favored …

Using the oral and manual Stroop tasks we tested the claim that retrieval of meaning from a
written word is automatic, in the sense that it cannot be controlled. The semantic interference …

Several studies have shown that mere social presence reduces Stroop interference but
processes underlying such effect are still poorly understood. Given that the standard Stroop …
