To gain a better understanding of how the brain processes and encodes data when dealing with interference, facilitation, and automaticity of a stimulus in the Stroop effect, I performed an experiment using the numerical Stroop effect. With the help of the 114 Florida Atlantic University students, we performed a within-test subject design and measured the reaction time in seconds of our participants based on the four types of conditions: neutral naming, neutral counting, congruent and incongruent. Neutral naming had the fastest reaction time which followed by congruent, neutral counting, and incongruent. Significant differences were found between congruent and incongruent conditions in reaction time as well as in neutral counting and neutral
