The Stroop interference effect implies a slowdown in human reaction when reading words with the name of a color if the font color does not match the meaning. The paper presents a brief overview of scientific publications on the issues of the emergence of the Stroop effect and the problems of interference phenomena. A study was conducted to study the influence of the level of concentration and selectivity of attention on the Stroop interference effect. The results showed that the Stroop effect occurs at any values of concentration and selectivity of attention. At low rates of these properties of attention, interference is significantly greater than at high values, but the time required to complete the task by individuals with a high level of concentration and selectivity of attention is longer.
