Any stimulus becomes information in our brain and the point of classroom instruction is to help learners to memorize to commit things to long-term memory; whether those are procedures, the way that we do something or that could be what we call declarative knowledge, things that we know, things that we say "Abraham Lincoln was the President during the Civil War". So that mental stimulus becomes well-set in memory once we've repeated it, and practiced it and/or rehearsed it many times.
