Document Summary

What are flashbulb memories: they are memories of events that are traumatic, strange, or personally meaningful, and we remember them vividly, careful just because a memory is vivid, doesn"t mean that it"s accurate. They are any clue that will help you take the info out of the storage in the brain. This is when we are exposed at the same time to stimulus linked with certain info that we are trying to remember. When asked to inspect a list of items and memorize them, we are more likely to remember. Week: 12 the rst and last things listed, not the things in the middle. When given a list of items and asked immediately to remember what"s on the list, we remember the last couple things. When given a list of items and then given time, later on asked what was on that list we saw in the morning, we will remember easier what was at the top of the list.
