Aw, apparently I didn't get enough sleep last night. After a moment or two of fairly extreme cognitive dissonance, I finally figured out what was wrong with what you typed, Nouk.  Grin

What is fun is to try and read the words with the colour instead of the actual word. Say that red is written in blue and you have to read it as blue instead of red. That really screws with some people's heads.

Yeah, I think it's an indication of how left vs right brained you are. It's been awhile since someone showed me, but I think they said it's right-brained people who can say the colors without problem and left-brainers who stumble a bit and want to just read the words. Despite the tests I've taken that peg me as exactly middle-brained (or slightly right), I stumble a lot.

How many of you can do it? I'm curious. Seems most people have a hard time with it.

I read the text without a problem.  Of course I see the colors are different from the words but it doesn't bother me at all.  XD  Am I weirder?

It is actually the Stroop effect which causes the stumbling. Most humans are so proficient at reading printed words that they cannot easily ignore them and when they have to choose to ignore the word and instead focus on another aspect of it, such as the color instead, this causes interference. 

The Stroop effect takes advantage of our ability to read words more quickly and automatically than we can name colors. I'm unsure how much, if any, being left or right brained would have upon the effect, but most people do tend to struggle with the task regardless.

Not weird, just that you are good at directed attention.

Ah, then the next time I see this person I'll inform him he was wrong. (Gleefully I might add - he's an insufferable know it all. Cheesy)

Due to my obsession with my DS, and the Train Your Brain game, I have no problem reading the text first, and then reading the colours second. Smiley

I read the words without a problem, but it took me a moment to realize that the text was a different color. Being familiar with this particular trick (thanks to psychology classes from a few years ago), it didn't really trip me up, but it did take half a second to notice what I was seeing.

speaking of psychology.... a neat little trick  Grin

Get some people into a room and have them sit down of course. At least two people, and have them face each other. Now slowly turn the light on and off, while ringing a bell at the same time. Such as:

*light off and bell*.......*light on*........*light off and bell*........*light on*

Have the people notice how the eyes dilate with the light changes, hence needing a bit of time between the flicks.

And keep doing it for a couple of minutes. Eventually it will get to a point of where you can ring a bell without flicking the light and their eyes will dilate automatically. Now it won't work on everyone, but it does work with a majority of people.

Basically it's subconsciously training their body to react to sounds/sights/smells, and you can literally do it with almost anything   Tongue
