The Stroop Effect: How Your Brain Interprets Colors

The video explores the concept of color recognition and the Stroop effect, a phenomenon where the brain's reaction time slows due to conflicting information, such as the color of a word versus the word itself. It explains how the brain processes colors and words differently, requiring both hemispheres to work together. The video also discusses color perception, highlighting how people may perceive colors differently due to surrounding colors and brain processing. The Stroop effect is named after John Ridley Stroop, who published a paper on it in 1935.
