After we learn to read, recognizing words becomes an automatic behavior that our brains can process much faster than recognizing colors. For example, say these words: Red. Green. Blue.

So what happens when we introduce conflicting word and color information to your brain? For example, name the colors that you see here: Red. Green. Blue.
