Information arrives from the sensory register in its original form such as in sound or vision, and is then encoded in a form that STM can deal with. Inputs can be coded in several ways:
(Example: Platypus)
Visually = by thinking of the image of a platypus
Acoustically = by repeatedly saying 'platypus'
Semantically = by using a knowledge of platypuses
