Description
Summary:The present investigation examined the relationships for scores on the Stroop Color and Word Test with measures of reading and language achievement within an adult population. The Stroop Color and Word Test, Nelson-Denny Reading Test, Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery–Revised, and Wide Range Achievement Test-3 were administered to 99 men ranging in age From 18 to 27 years. Pearson product-moment correlations indicated that the Stroop Word task was positively associated with scores on the WRAT–3 Spelling task, the Woodcock-Johnson Basic and Broad Reading tasks, and the Nelson-Denny Reading Rate and Comprehension tasks. These and other significant relationships were discussed in terms of possible implications regarding the assessment of reading achievement.
