Passage

The human brain is a remarkable organ responsible for numerous cognitive functions. One of its key roles is memory. Memory is divided into three main types: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory retains information from our senses for a very short time, such as the image you briefly see before it fades. Short-term memory holds information temporarily, like remembering a phone number until you write it down. Long-term memory is responsible for storing information over a more extended period, like childhood memories, important facts, and learned skills. Enhancing memory often involves strategies like repetition, association, and adequate sleep.
