From the Paper:

"The Stroop Test is a scientific process whereby the participants are asked to focus on one element when another stimulus is present. The standard Stroop Test involves the use of a list of colors. However, the colors listed are printed in different colors other than the one the word itself describes. The participants are then asked to look at the list of words and relate to the evaluator what the colors are that the words are printed in, not recite the actual words on the list. This action is supposed to be accomplished as quickly as possible by the individual. Most people will have significant difficulty reciting the printed ink colors quickly..."
