Flashbulb memory is related to the circumstances surrounding your reception of the news1 with confidence and in vivid detail. You can think of it as a "snapshot" of the moment that was surprising, as well as significant to you. Evidence has shown that although people are highly confident in their flashbulb memories, the details of the memories can be forgotten, and they do not significantly vary from normal memories. The proposal of the Flashbulb Memory theory by Brown and Kulik set a lot of research and studies into motion.
In three following posts, three mayor studies will be explained related to this topic.
They include:
- Brown & Kulik (1977)
- Neisser & Harsch (1992)
- Talarico & Rubin (2003)
