The Stroop Color and Word Test provides a diagnosis of brain dysfunction, and the evaluation of stress, personality cognition and psychopathology. The Stroop phenomenon has been found to be useful in the identification of a number of significant disorders, and has been recommended as a valuable test for ADD/ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and to ascertain the degree of independence likely to be achieved by individuals with frontal lobe disorders. The children's version of the Stroop Color and Word Test was developed in response to the demand for a Stroop test that is similar to the adult version, but is specifically normed and interpreted for children. The Stroop Color and Word Test: Children's Version Manual details specific administration, scoring, and interpretive strategies for use with children ages 5-14 years. The interpretation of a child's score is affected by developmental trends, possible learning disabilities, attentional problems, emotional problems, and overall maturity--therefore, it is more difficult to interpret a child's score than it is to interpret an adult's score. The children's version of the Stroop has been designed to avoid measurement issues that exist in attempting to apply the scoring approach of the adult Stroop to children's data. Interpretive strategies also differ between younger children (ages 5-10) and older children (ages 11-14). Therefore, interpretive strategies for each age group are presented separately in the Manual. 20090507.
