In its basic form, the task is to name thecolor in which a word is printed, ignoring the word itself. When the word is a color word printed in amismatched ink color, this is very difficult to do and results in slow, error-prone responding.

Thus, given our extensive experience with reading, color-word pathways ordinarily are much more
