Stroop Test

The Stroop test is a cognitive neuroscience test to demonstrate interference in the reaction time of a task. It's pretty cool and influential in experimental psychology.

Say the color of the font/ink of the words as fast as you can:
1. Red Green Orange Purple Green Blue Red Blue Purple Orange

2.
Green Red Red Purple Blue Orange Blue Green Purple Orange

You'll notice the second line is significantly more difficult than the first line.
