Information from all around us comes into our sensory memory. Some of the information we may be interested in and pay attention to. All the other information is lost. The information we have paid attention to is then transferred to our short-term memory. Our short term memories can only hold a certain amount of information for a short time after this new memories push out the others and they are lost. Information that is rehearsed will be transferred to long term memory where it is available for use indefinitely and can be retrieved for use at a later time.
