What is the aim of the colour naming experiment that Stroop did?

"The aim was to demonstrate interference in the reaction time of a task. When a word such as blue, green, red, etc. is printed in a color differing from the color expressed by the word's semantic meaning (e.g. the word "red" printed in blue ink), a delay occurs in the processing of the word's color, leading to slower test reaction times and an increase in mistakes."

The Stroop test, lol.


It's to check out mental flexibility and attention levels
