This area is located in the area of the brain called the anterior cingulate (thought processes and emotional responses).
The test also challenges the cognitive mechanism (called inhibition) which means we have to stop one response and say or do something else.
For example if the word red is written in yellow we will be more likely to say the word red than the colour in which the word appears (yellow).
The test asks you to say out loud the colour you see and not the word you read. It sounds easy but it's much harder than you think. Click on the START button to begin the test.
