One of the popular experiments at the moments that psychologists play is to give you a list of loaded words (for whatever their research area is) in one of four colours (RGYB), and then ask you to hit a button as fast as you can representing the colour of the word. The idea is that if it's an area where it causes little other barin load, then it's relatively quick, but if it's something which has a strong reaction (names of beers for recovering alcoholics, for example), then it takes much longer. I'm not sure what the experiment is called though. It's almost certainly called something like the Miller-Fortesque test or something, so that it's difficult to find!
