Short term memory is also known as a "working memory." Everyone processes information at their own speed, and it's stored in the frontal lobe of the brain. The frontal lobe is responsible for carrying out executive functions.
Here's an example that will hopefully help to answer your question : A student in the classroom is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. One area he/she is deficient in is processing speed. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for the student to keep up in classroom, because they are stuggling to hold the information that's being taught in his/her short-term (working) memory, while trying to relate or make sense of it in regards to next piece of information about the topic the professor starts lecturing about.
So, to sum this up. Information in the short term (working memory) is either processed & stored, or not fully processed & is then forgotten.

What is forgetting in psychology?
Forgetting in cognitive psychology is still a process that is still the object of plenty of research. For short term memory: Most modern accounts hold that forgetting is caused by interference between past and new information. Some other models explain forgetting by a proces of passive deterioration of information. Both accounts can coexist, but interference seems to better explain results. One should not forget that memory and attention processes are very much linked and that the more attention is given to some information, the faster it will be encoded in memory and the better it should be recalled. For long term memory: Information is stored in a very complex, probably cyclical and redundent system. Failure to remember happens when one is unable to reactivate the memory circuit of a given information. Sometimes, a single cue will be enough to reactivate the associated information (thus the difference between recall and recognition). Forgetting can also happen "in between" short and long term memory: when the information is to be encoded. This can happenonce again through interference and is more likely if the information isn't linked to any other memory circuit. Generally, the less a circuit is connected to other memorier, the less likely it is to be remembered or recalled.

What happens to new information when short-term memory is filled to capacity?
When short-term memory is filled to capacity, new information may not be able to be stored. This can lead to difficulties in retaining and processing new information. It may also result in issues like forgetfulness or an inability to focus on the new information.
What happens to information in short-term memory that is not further processed or rehearsed?
The information in short-term memory that is not further processed or rehearsed decays or fades away. Information is stored in short-term memory for approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
What happens in the hippocampus?
It plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation.
