The document summarizes cognitive views of learning and information processing in memory. It describes how information moves from sensory memory to working memory, where it connects to long-term memory. Working memory has three parts that hold different types of information temporarily. To retain information in working memory, people use maintenance rehearsal by repeating information or elaborative rehearsal by connecting it to existing knowledge. Long-term memory stores declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. Teachers can help students learn by focusing their attention, separating essential from nonessential details, making connections to prior knowledge, providing repetition, and presenting material clearly and meaningfully.
