However, the speed of completion may make it hard to control. You would predict that automatized tasks may sometimes interfere with tasks that require more time to complete and whose responses are incongruent. Which takes you less time, reading a simple word aloud or naming a color aloud? o o. When the font color and the color term are incongruent, there is a greater delay. o. In the classic stroop efect (irst described by j. r. stroop in. 1935), two tasks actually occur you are asked to name the color, but it is presented embedded in an incongruent color term (e. g. green).
