Stroop Buddy
The Stroop Test app for measuring response time to color–word conflicts and demonstrating the Stroop effect in a simple, controlled way.
Available on iOS and Android.
Based on the classic Stroop Test
Stroop Buddy is based on the classic Stroop Test, where participants respond to the ink color of a word instead of the written color name. This creates a conflict that reveals cognitive flexibility and selective attention.
Maximum flexibility
Adjust the number of rounds per test, timing between stimuli, and other parameters so the task matches your experimental design.
Result analysis
View response times directly in the app as your participants complete the Stroop Test, making it easy to monitor performance.
Easy export
Export your results to .CSV and send them via email, WhatsApp, Slack, or your favorite app for further analysis.
For theses, research projects, and teaching
Whether you are running a small thesis project, a classroom demonstration, or a larger study, Stroop Buddy provides a straightforward way to collect reliable response-time data.
