Hacaro - StroopTest

– Description The Stroop Test is widely known as a cognitive task related to attention and decision-making, and it is thought to be associated with brain functions such as the frontal lobe and the anterior cingulate cortex. This app provides two types of tasks. In the first task, you are asked to identify the colors red, blue, green, and yellow as accurately and quickly as possible (Color Naming Task). In the second task, even when the meaning of the word and the color of the ink do not match, you are asked to answer based on the ink color, not the word itself (Incongruent Color Naming Task). It is known that responses tend to be slower when the color information and the word meaning are inconsistent compared to when they match. This phenomenon is called the Stroop Effect. This is thought to occur because the processes of recognizing colors and reading words work simultaneously and interfere with each other, which increases the time required for information processing. Each task consists of 20 questions, and after completion, the number of correct answers and the elapsed time will be displayed. The task display language is available in 11 different languages. – Data Sharing Past records can be saved to your device in CSV format or shared with other apps, such as by sending them via email. – Selecting a Mode When Starting the App When launching the app, you can choose from three modes: 1: Hacaro Series Account Mode By logging in with a user account, all past data can be stored securely in the cloud.
