" A language-production system that is error-prone allows for the "novel production" of words. It is prima facie evidence of linguistic flexibility, proof of the great dexterity of the human mind." | |

| Mar 9, 2021 at 19:24 | comment | added | GiHe | This seems to be the most relevant and useful information yet. If my question begs neologism, I would propose "Stroop slip" for public consumption. :) | |
| Mar 9, 2021 at 19:09 | comment | added | Jim Balter | It's a cognitive phenomenon, but I don't think there's a specific term for it (I would be happy to be wrong about that)--I think "neurolinguistic slip" is as close as you're going to get. The underlying neurophysical mechanism is probably similar to that of the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroop_effect | |
