the most suitable methods. Its components are subtests

When implementing the classic form of the Stroop
colour-word test, the subject is initially required to
read words representing names of some basic colours,
then he/she tries to quickly name the colours of, for
example, small rectangles and at the end he/she goes
through the so-called subtest of interference....
