Information processing theory proposes that information enters through the five senses and is first stored in short term memory, lasting seconds to minutes. If rehearsed, information passes to working memory for a few hours of practice, such as for an event. Important information that is sufficiently rehearsed is consolidated into long term memory for permanent storage and later retrieval.
