You could be on to something here!I do wonder to what extent that one's made easier for us who don't speak English natively though. I had no problem with it either, but obviously to me the color yellow connects with the word "Gul" before it connects with the word "Yellow", so there's less conflict.

Alas, I hadn't seen the test in Norwegian first. Of course, tempo might be a factor too. Keeping the tempo moderate would probably make it fairly simple, as you can sort out any confusion in the millisecond before you actually say anything.
There's a lot of nice visual illusions, one of my favorites is one I can't find right now, but where you stare at the center of two circles, and when you move your face closer to/away from the screen, it looks like they're rotating.
Anyhoo, I did stumble upon this fairly nice site for visual illusions while looking for it: http://dragon.uml.edu/psych/illusion.html
The page ncludes some explanations too.
