To summarize, as your attention wanders away from the text, relax, focus on one thing at a time, and try to speed up.
Stroop Effect
The markers we generate during prereading are not fully formed markers. They are more like visual associations, and visual associations are prone to errors.
The Stroop effect deals with colors. When the name of a color (e.g., "blue," "green," or "red") is printed in a color not denoted by the name (e.g., the word "red" printed in blue ink instead of red ink), naming the color of the word takes longer and is more prone to errors than when the color of the ink matches the name of the color.
The Stroop effect was discovered in Germany in 1929. The findings of the experiment should not surprise you. When the color and its printed name coincide, we get the information much faster and more accurate than we get with just the text. If the color and its printed name contradict each other, reading is both slow and error-prone.
