A new method to research attention and short-term remembering interaction is presented. The method is developed for investigation of attention and memory during performing of the unified task that demands both for attention and memory. The memory span is measured using the stimuli from the Stroop task (the n^es or the colours that are printed with colour inks). After the application there were found some new results. I he btroop memoiy effect is manifesting by decreasing of the memory span in conditions of mcongruity between the meaning of the word and the colour in comparison weith short-term remembering of the colours of me nonsense symbols. The memoryfacilitation effect is manifesting by increasing of the memory span in coriditions of congruity between the meaning of the word and the colour in comparison with short-term remembermg of the colour the nonsense symbols. It was found that the Stroop memory effect higher in magnitude than the memory facilitation effect.
