Stall strips increase the stall speed. They are used (usually on tapered wings) to create turbulence on the leading edge and cause the wing root to stall before the tips do, thereby maintaining aileron control in the stall.

Tall Paul - You are thinking of stall warning indicators which are designed to trip before reaching critical angle of attack.
