The Stroop paradigm is widely used in neuropsychological assessments of executive functions. This study investigated the use of tasks based on the Stroop paradigm in national studies published between 2000 and 2020, by doing a scope review. Empirical studies were selected in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo Brazil, LILACS, Pepsic, Index Psi Periódicos, Index-Psi teses, BDTD and Portal CAPES de Teses e Dissertações. From the initial 1295 studies found, 145 were selected (90 theses/dissertations and 55 articles). Most articles were published in psychology and psychiatry journals, and the construct most targeted by the tasks was inhibitory control. Four versions were identified, and the classic Stroop Color and Word test was the most used one (122 studies). Different scores were reported. There were few psychometric studies and few studies with task norms. Computerized versions are still little used. The review helps to spot the versions used at the national level.
