I have created a PPT activity featuring the Stroop Effect, which in psychology is a demonstration of the inability to correctly name the color of a word that is printed in a different color.

Use this activity as a warm-up or a filler, or tailor it to your needs.

I covered the answer slides with an opaque screen that will fade upon a click. Hopefully this will reduce the likelihood of students prematurely seeing the answers!


Enjoy!
