Psychology: Knowing How the Brain Work

The brain is the organ that controls all operations in human beings including metabolism,

respiration, body movement, memory, and many more. It determines the intelligence quotient of

a person, as it determines one’s personality, character, and behavior. This paper will analyze

comprehensively, human memory. Memory is the mental process, which includes the retention

brains for later use. As a result, human memory is classified into three main categories namely;

the sensory, short-term, and long-term memory.

these seven colors in their subsequent positions may be difficult for many people. Nonetheless,

the formation of an acronym from the fists letters of each color of the rainbow will give the word

positions. (Redish, 2013)

The method of enhancing one’s memory is quite efficient, especially when one intends to

recall words in a specific order. It is undisputed that a person can creatively develop as many

acronyms for different groups of words as possible, and work to master them. Human brain

works in such a manner that in can be able to easily remember, comprehend and arrange a

specific sequence of words from an acronym. Moreover, acronyms can remain in a person’s
