In this version, three conditions are assessed: the C and the CW correspond to the equivalent conditions of the original version of the test (Stroop, 1935), while the W condition includes common words which do not refer to colors.…”

The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) is a neuropsychological test extensively used to assess the ability to inhibit cognitive interference that occurs when the processing of a specific stimulus feature impedes the simultaneous processing of a second stimulus attribute, well-known as the Stroop Effect. The aim of the present work is to verify the theoretical adequacy of the various scoring methods used to measure the Stroop effect. We present a systematic review of studies that have provided normative data for the SCWT. We referred to both electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) and citations. Our findings show that while several scoring methods have been reported in literature, none of the reviewed methods enables us to fully assess the Stroop effect. Furthermore, we discuss several normative scoring methods from the Italian panorama as reported in literature. We claim for an alternative scoring method which takes into consideration both speed and accuracy of the response. Finally, we underline the importance of assessing the performance in all Stroop Test conditions (word reading, color naming, named color-word).

“…The MMSE block comprised the following: Philadelphia Verbal Learning Test (P(r)VLT-12; Bezdicek et al, 2014a) or Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT; Bezdicek et al, 2014b), the Prague Stroop Test (Bezdicek et al, 2015), letter verbal fluency (Nikolai et al, 2015), Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ; Pfeffer et al, 1982;Bezdicek et al, 2016), and abbreviated Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15; Sheikh and Yesavage, 1986).…”

“…Thus, a negative IG value represents a pathological ability to inhibit interference, where a lower score means greater difficulty in inhibiting interference. Six articles (Troyer et al, 2006;Bayard et al, 2011;Campanholo et al, 2014;Bezdicek et al, 2015;Hankee et al, 2016;Tremblay et al, 2016) adopted the Victoria Stroop Test.
