The Stroop task is an assessment of a person's ability to direct attention. It is considered to be an indication of selective attention and stems from our ability to read words more quickly and automatically than we can name colors. The Stroop task may be best described as a cognitive assessment of directional attention where we must manage our attention and inhibit or stop a response in order to do or say something else.
