I know that younger kids are supposed to take less time on the stroop test, especially the ones that cannot read. This is because they know their colors, but not the words. For older people, reading is an automatic process, while color naming is a control process.

How does kids with heart conditions do sport?

Kids can take it easier than everyone else, show up to less practices, take breaks often. I would know because i have a heart condition and when i over work my heart just starts stining and i stop take a few deep breaths and keep going. Kids can get medications for these things if they wanna do a sport but they can try something else or do a little bit less than other kids their age.

Does writing the names of color in different colors affect the speed at which a person reads?

I think you are referring to the Stroop Test, named after John Ridley Stroop who reported his findings in 1935. Research had already been done in Germany in 1929, but Stroop's was the first report in English. He found that when subjects were shown words printed in different colors, and those colors differed with the actual colors of the print, reading is slowed down considerably. This effect has been studied extensively and the Stroop test has many practical uses. It helped scientists locate different brain functions and recognize how information processing and executive functioning interact (or not). The Stroop Test is also used to diagnose neurological disorders, for instance, after a stroke to determine which parts of the brain have been impaired. There are many practical uses for the Stroop Test: medical, psychological, neurological, learning style diagnosis. It also makes a fine fine T shirt. There is a fairly good summary about the Stroop effect on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroop_effect> . If you want more detailed information, it's out there. If you want to take the test yourself, just for the eye popping enlightenment of it all, here is a link to a simplified version: <https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/words.html> .

How do you get your kids to do what you ask them to do?

Try to reward them with a toy or candy (only works for little kids) For older kids try threatening to send them to their room or grounding them. With High School kids, do it yourself, they'll never listen. Don't always get your kids to do work for you, they aren't slaves, and they could think your abusing them. If they don't do what you tell them like you can't get them to stop being bad then be assertive and never take no for an answer.
