Describe Flashbulb Memory.

      

Describe Flashbulb Memory.

  

Answers


Kavungya
This is a vivid, long lasting memory of surprising, important, emotionally arousing event e.g. do you recall where you were when you heard about the bomb blast? Or what do you recall about your first day at work/college/school?

People with flashbulb memory of an event may recall where they were, what they were doing, how they were told, how they felt about it, and even trivial things that occurred shortly afterwards

NB. The handling of information at each memory stage has been compared to information processing by a computer, which involves encoding, storage and retrieval.
