INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORY 
This theory is based on the idea that people actively process the information they receive from their senses, like a computer does. Learning is what is happening when our brains receive information, record it, mould it and store it.
SENSORY REGISTER
This is a person’s ultra-short memory that receives information through 5 senses – sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. This information is only held in the sensory register for only a few seconds.

LONG TERM MEMORY - KEEPS INFORMATION FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME , INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM SHORT TERM MEMORY INTO LONG TERM MEMORY BECOMES PART OF PERMANENT MEMORY
EPISODIAC -Episodic memory is a part of the explicit long-term memory responsible for storing information about events (i.e. episodes) that we have experienced in our lives.
SEMANTIC MEMORY is a part of the explicit long-term memory responsible for storing information about the world. This includes knowledge about the meaning of words, as well as general knowledge.
Procedural memory is a part of the implicit long-term memory responsible for knowing how to do things, i.e. memory of motor skills.
It does not involve conscious (i.e. it’s unconscious - automatic) thought and is not declarative. For example, procedural memory would involve knowledge of how to ride a bicycle.
SHORT TERM MEMORY
The component of the memory system that holds information that an individual is consciously thinking about right at the moment. Its capacity appears to be limited to about seven items, and unless the information is rehearsed, it will be lost from short-term memory in 15-20 seconds.
In order for information to be retained in the memory, the information needs to be rehearsed and said over and over again
