Many experts say the brain often equates meeting someone new with all the other similar encounters you have had in the past which is why it doesn\u2019t prioritise them. You have to take in the moment and register what the person looks like, is wearing, the setting around you and the best way to do this is to think of five descriptions of the person in your head.<\/p>
More than any other parts of the face, studies have shown that the brain registers and associates a name with a face using the eyes.<\/p> It isn\u2019t good enough to just stare, introduce yourself, shake hands and be done. If you repeat the name you after someone introduces themselves are most likely to remember it.\u00a0Also ask them about the meaning and origin of the name.<\/p>\n If you do not focus on that new person you are meeting for those few minutes, your brain doesn\u2019t get a chance to register and encode this message so it stores it in the temporary memory bank.<\/p>\n In the rare occasion that you can get to know someone\u2019s name before meeting them, do it, it will help you remember the name.<\/p>\n![\"giphy](\"https:\/\/albertonrecord.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2016\/01\/giphy-110.gif\")
