The Stroop test is one of prevailing methods in clinical psychological assessment. At the same time, the Stroop task has been improved and sophisticated as experimental methods in cognitive psychology in a recent few decades. It has accumulated several important evidences on the sequential effects such as negative priming. Along with this change, the classical style of paper-based assessment (Stroop, 1935) seems outdated from the view of the experimental method in cognitive psychology, because theclassical Stroop test is not available for measuring the separate response latency for each trial. Assessing sequential effects absolutely requires the measurement of individual response latency for each trial. In this study we developed the computer versionof the Stroop test commonly used in both experimental laboratories and field situations.
