abstract = {One of the best-known paradigms to study interference
between cognitive processes isthe Stroop task1. Over time,
many variants of the task have evolved2, differing with
respectto stimulus material (e.g. color-word, picture-word
or number variants), control conditions(congruent or
neutral), presentation design (mixed or blocked), as well as
combinations withadditional cognitive demands. The neural
and behavioral impact of this variety, however, hasnever
been systematically assessed. We performed a series of
meta-analyses to synthesizebehavioral and neuroimaging
findings of studies implementing Stroop-type tasks and
toinvestigate commonalities and differences between
different versions. In total, the coordinate-based
meta-analyses included 133 neuroimaging experiments, which
reported 164 effect sizesfor inclusion in the behavioral
analyses. Results revealed little impact of task variations
on themean effect size of reaction time (¯g=0.64 across all
164 effect sizes, CI = 0.56-0.73). Neurally,incongruence
processing in the classic color-word Stroop variant
consistently recruited regionsof the multiple-demand
network, with some modulation of spatial convergence by
stimulusmaterial, control condition, design, and cognitive
demand. In line with the view of a “many-to-one
mapping”3, our results suggest that the seemingly unitary
behavioral costs of Stroop-type conflicts may arise from
partly different neural processing mechanisms, depending
oncontextual factors. The impact of different features of
the task should therefore be carefullyconsidered when
planning or interpreting Stroop-type experiments, especially
in clinical orother applied fields.[1] Stroop, JR (1935).
