The Color Word Attention Test (CWAT)

The test can be compared to the classic Stroop test, but is administred more efficiëntly on a digital screen. Instead of printing a field of stimuli, each page now only contains one stimulus. This allows for automatic registration of responses and the reaction times. The test consists of four subtests:

Words

Colors

Interference

Colored Words Interference. Words printed in the ‘wrong’ color.

Inhibition

Colored Words Interference and Inhibition. Dependent on the stimulus, either respond to the text or the printed word.
