This document summarizes different theories of memory and information processing. It discusses stage theories which view memory as having separate sensory, short-term, and long-term stages. It also covers network theories which see memory as categorization and forming connections. Additionally, it mentions non-linear memory theory which rejects separate stages and sees simultaneous processing. The document notes applications of these theories including using encoding, elaboration, categorization, and comparison to allow for deep processing and meaningful learning.
