Resumen
La presente investigación titulada: el test Stroop como herramienta psicológica para evaluar el control inhibitorio y la atención selectiva en adultos jóvenes, surge por la necesidad de identificar los aportes de esta prueba como herramienta psicológica. El objetivo planteado fue analizar el uso del test Stroop a través de su aplicación como herramienta psicológica para la evaluación del control inhibitorio y la atención selectiva en adultos jóvenes, entre 20 a 30 años. El eje fue ¿de qué manera contribuye el test Stroop como herramienta psicológica para la evaluación del control inhibitorio y atención selectiva? Metodología: modalidad de sistematización de experiencias; cualitativa y descriptiva, con un enfoque epistemológico interpretativo y método de análisis y síntesis. Las fuentes de información fueron información bibliográfica, bitácoras e informes de resultados del instrumento y técnicas aplicadas, así como el informe final. Como reflexión crítica, el test Stroop, permite evaluar el nivel de interferencia generada por automatismos en la realización de una tarea, por tal razón valora aspectos como el control inhibitorio y la atención selectiva, identificando qué acciones están más automatizadas en el sujeto, lo que nos lleva a valorar también la velocidad en el procesamiento de la información. Como conclusión, el test Stroop es una prueba que ha demostrado ser eficaz en la evaluación de áreas relacionadas a funciones ejecutivas; sin embargo, es necesario considerar aspectos tanto positivos como negativos al momento de utilizarlo
