Cognitive processes in the MSM
1. Attention - Focusing on stimuli to pass information from sensory register
2. Maintenance rehearsal - Repeating an item over and over again to pass information from STM to LTM
3. Recoding - May be needed between one store and the next
4. Retrieval - Accessing and recovering stored information
5. Forgetting - Inability to recall or recognise something previously learned (decay, displacement, retrieval failure, interference)
