What happens to information in the STM?
Information lasts up to 30 seconds, and is mainly auditory. if not rehearsed, is lost through trace decay

What happens to information in the LTM?
Lasts possible years, mainly semantic information, unlimited capacity. needs a retrieval cue, can lose information through trace decay and interference
