Daily Idea #310: Stroop Effect

Have you ever tried nodding your head while you say the word no? Or tried to count in your head when someone else was saying the wrong numbers? When your are trying to say one thing while your brain registers something different, it is extremely challenging.

For today’s daily idea we are going to have fun with the Stroop Effect. In the picture below, there are many colors written; if you look closely, the colors do not match words. The whole point of this brain exercise is to say the name of the color you see, not the word you read. For example, if the word says “red” but it’s color is white, then out loud you say, “white”. See how long it takes you to get them all correct and count how many times you make a mistake each time you go read them.
