Storage: the information is held in a way that alls it to later be retrieved. Levels of processing (lop): encoding of information into memory is a dynamic process. What we remember is a function of how we process information. Deeper processing better encoding (more likely to get stored) Mnemonics : using mental imagery & other well known cues, method of loci.
