Why is it easier for research subjects to complete a Stroop task if they are unfamiliar with the language the task is presented in?
If reading that language creates an attention bottleneck, then he or she will complete the task more efficiently.
The subjects find it interesting to learn a new language, so they pay greater attention to the task.
If reading that language is not an automatic process for the subject, then the language will not interfere with color naming.
The human brain cannot conduct an automatic process and a conscious controlled process at the same time.
