Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A mnemonic device is a method employed to make the memory have the ability to remember things, improve the memory, and generally improve the long term ability of the memory such that the brain develops more ability to store information until when needed and collect the stored information when needed. This is achievable when the information that needed to be remembered are stored using rhymes of songs, abbreviations of words using the initial letters. For example, "MR NIGER D" can be used to store the characteristics of living things like:

M - movement

R - Respiration

N - Nutrition

I - Irritability

G - Growth

E - Excretion

R - Reproduction

D - Death
