Control processes: shift information from one memory store to another: we can lose/forget information at each step of model. Attention: select whichever information goes on to short term memory. Info enters sensory memory stores through all the senses: selects some element of our environment and add to our experience and understanding of the world, vast amount of sensory information is quickly forgotten and replaced by new input.
