Detailed explanation-1: -In psychology, flashbulb memories are personal memories of learning shocking or upsetting news which can be recalled with considerable clarity. Although these are often related to an event, they are autobiographical memories, where the focus is on the individual and not the event.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Hirst, Talarico and Rubin findings seem to suggest that flashbulb memories are not necessarily all that accurate, but they do appear to be more vivid than other memories-at least people certainly perceive them that way.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term flashbulb memories refers only to those autobiographical memories that involve the circumstances in which one learned of a public event.
Detailed explanation-4: -a vivid, enduring memory associated with a personally significant and emotional event, often including such details as where the individual was or what he or she was doing at the time of the event.
Detailed explanation-5: -Intensified Traumatic Memories: Flashbulb Memories and the Hippocampus in Overdrive. The effect of fear, threat or states of intense stress on memory can result in intensified memory recollection, or it can result in fragmented or impaired memories.
