The Stroop test assessed attention/concentration, shifting perceptual sets, and the suppression of a habitual response in favor of an atypical one (46). This task instructs the participant to say the color of the word displayed on a monitor, which may or may not differ from the actual word text. For example, a participant would push the designated blue button when observing the word written in blue that could spell red, blue or green. Cognitive assessments were conducted at the beginning and end of the session, about 2 hours apart.
