Try this simple test. After you click on “Start”, a colored word will appear above the color buttons. Click on one of the four buttons (or type the first letter of the color) that matches the color of the word in the box (not the meaning of the word). For example, if Blue shows up, click on the “Green” button. You will have 20 trials. Try to respond as quickly as you can, because you will be timed.
Explanation:
Did you have trouble naming the color of the word when the word didn’t match its color? The Stroop Effect is one of the strongest effects in experimental psychology, and it was first described by J.R. Stroop in 1935. If you try to name the physical color of a word, the word itself can “interfere” with the process of naming the color of the word. If the word and color don’t match (incongruent), it often takes longer to name the color. If the word does match its color (congruent), it usually takes less time to respond. If you are like most people, your incongruent response times will be longer than your congruent response times.
That was cool!

Hi Paul, I’m not able to duplicate the problem you are seeing. I just tested it in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome. Check your browser options to make sure that you have Java enabled (which is different from JavaScript). What browser are you using?

I have had problems with loading the confusing colors program in that when I open it the portion that has start is not loading. I was wondering if you are working on the site or have just taken down the site. Thanks for your assistance in this matter.
