Abstract. Assessment measures, such as the Color and Word Stroop Test (CWST; Golden, 1978), list color-word stimuli on a single page making all items visible at one time. However, in lab-based research, Stroop stimuli are typically presented on a monitor so that only one item is visible at a time. This study examines whether or not the color naming times are consistent across these two formats. Two computer-based tests were created. The first test duplicated the CWST with five columns of 20 items appearing on the screen at the same time. The other test included the same items in the same order but appearing one at a time on the screen. These two versions were administered in alternating orders across participants. The results are discussed In terms of developing a computerized Stroop test for clinical assessment.
