Three Stages of Memory. A huge part of information processing is its description of memory. The theory lists three stages of our memory that work together in this order: sensory memory, short-term or working memory and long-term memory.

The general model of information processing theory includes three components:
- Sensory memory. In sensory memory, information is gathered via the senses through a process called transduction.
- Working memory/short term memory.
- Long term memory.
