Science is not limited to researchers but it is mainly studied at the University. In this way, the internationalization of Higher Education has brought an enriching perspective to the topic that is addressed. Here, we came across a challenging scenario of learning the particular Stroop paradigm. A group of Erasmus students share its curiosity about their own differences in their performance, which fosters the present work. It is aimed at nurturing their (and other people´s) learning during their early career. Therefore, an approximation to the scientific method was followed by them, which is described in the present work. Finally, a glossary of 18 terms was listed during the exercise. We hope this can be used as a motivating material for putting theory into practice.
