=== Reverse === Another variant of the classic Stroop effect is the reverse Stroop effect. It occurs during a pointing task. In a reverse Stroop task, individuals are shown a page with a black square with an incongruent colored word in the middle—for instance, the word "red" written in the color green ('''<span style="color:green">red</span>''')—with four smaller colored squares in the corners.<ref name="Durgin 2000 121–125">{{cite journal|last=Durgin|first=F|title=The Reverse Stroop Effect|journal=Psychonomic Bulletin & Review|year=2000|volume=7|issue=1|pages=121–125|doi=10.3758/bf03210730|pmid=10780025|doi-access=free}}</ref> One square would be colored green, one square would be red, and the two remaining squares would be other colors. Studies show that if the individual is asked to point to the color square of the written color (in this case, red) they would present a delay.<ref name="Durgin 2000 121–125"/> Thus, incongruently-colored words significantly interfere with pointing to the appropriate square. However, some research has shown there is very little interference from incongruent color words when the objective is to match the color of the word.<ref name="McMahon"/>
