Definition contributed by BGregory about one year ago:
measures selective attention, cognitive flexibility and processing speed, and it is used as a tool in the evaluation of executive functions. There are different test variants commonly used in clinical settings, with differences between them in the number of subtasks, type and number of stimulus, times for the task, or scoring procedures.[14][15] Regarding the number of subtasks, all versions have at least two: there are written color names differing from the ink used and in the first trial the participant has to say the written word and the ink in the second.
