However, after a year only 66% of their memories were accurate and after 10 years that number dropped to 60%. 

2. "Forty percent of the time people misremeber some aspect of their 9/11 experience, the study indicates. And the part they get the most wrong is how they felt." 

3. "What we're really looking at in flashbulb studies is consistency of people's stories, and we found a dramatic inconsistency in what  people report after one week and after 36 months" 

4. "there is mounting evidence that the closer we are physically and mentally to the event, the more we get it right, and the more we can recount every sight, sound, and smell we experienced" 

5. "In our panic we release serotonin and this then causes us to remember what happened in much more detail"

6. Studies show that people's confidence in their Flash Bulb Memories remains higher than their confidence of an "everyday" memory.

7. "millions of Americans have vivid rememberances of decades-old traumatic events...known as flashbulb memories, these detailed recollections can be as clear as something that happened yesterday, right down to the dialouge" 

8. When people are nearer to the event their amygdala (role in making emotional memories)  is more largely affected and if people are farther away like seeing it on tv their hippocampus (involvment in day to day memory)  is affected more.

9. memory improves when we're on caffeine and particularly 'declarative memory'

10. because the event was significant and worth talking about, we relive it in our minds and tell other people the story over and over again

2. Once an inconsistency in a memory occurs, people will often begin to misremember the inconsistency as something that really happened or something that they really felt.

3. Flashbulb memories are initially accurate, however, as people begin to misremember pieces of the event overtime, the consistency of their initial story compared to the present recollection of the event will 

4. Studies have shown that when events were closer to the individual person people were more likely to remember the event in more detail and more accurately. (death of a relative or pregnancy)

5. Serotonin causes events to be perceived as slower after they have occurred. This explains people recalling exciting events as slower and clearer. 

6. This confidence in accuracy of their flash bulb memories is due to the vividness, elaborateness, & ease of retrieval.

7. Flashbulb memories occur when an event in history collides with your personal life. Often resulting in vivid memories of the time that you heard about the event.

8. This is because flashbulb memories often are emotional events that will be remembered for a long time due to their significance in one's life

9. Caffeine is thought to produce a higher amount of adrenaline causing increased memory and heightened emotion. 

10. If memories are more rehearsed then they are more likely to be remembered. Flashbulb memories are worthy of retelling ]]> 2018-03-20 17:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_child/9ns4un8fzshj/wish/244150931 madison_child https://padlet.com/madison_child/9ns4un8fzshj/wish/244151108 Flashbulb memories are detailed & persistent, but NOT precise. The more personal the memory the more accurate it will be. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_child/9ns4un8fzshj/wish/244151108 madison_child https://padlet.com/madison_child/9ns4un8fzshj/wish/244151173
