Answer:
You used a control process in STM (short-term memory).
Explanation:
The control process occurs within the short-term memory. It is a way of <em>regulating information flow and </em><em>prioritize</em><em> it. </em>Short-term memory usually lasts between 15-30 minutes unless it passes to the long-term memory.

Negative stimuli, such as fear, are processed by the limbic
system, located in the temporal lobe. The limbic system comprises multiple
parts of the brain; however, the main brain component responsible for
processing emotions is the

some part of the limbic system.</span>
