When we are told something, what is stopping us from processing it right away?

Memory is an entire branch of study for Psychology and I know for a fact that I can't put the entire answer here, but I'll try to put a few factors up.
No determination to remember. (Most likely you consider the information useless and do not attempt to remember it)
Distractions (Someone tells you something as you're doing something else (Driving), you may not remember)
There's plenty more, but those were the two i could think of without getting a book out.

We have to be consciously aware of what we are told and we have to consciously make a decision to make a mental note to remember this buy. It's an interesting point how can we send something immediatelt to our long term memory.

I suggest: Mostly distractions (internal and external.)

We do mostly, unless it is something unfamiliar.
