Determining the Intensity of a Memory

Two people who judge the strength of memory can have exactly the same experience, but the way of memorizing events is different. This has always amazed me, our memories of our relationship differ slightly, especially when I recall with my friends. For example, when we do an expedition at the coast, my first thought is how interesting it is when I think about vacation. My friend remembered our night at Seaside Heights. I did not suppress memory of old lucky cars and carnival games. I did not think about some of the holidays.

Flash memory is a type of memory that is encoded under strong psychological stress and is said to be very crisp and accurate like a snapshot of camera flash. The name is not mentioned, but it is the type of memory that psychiatrist Richard Friedman mentioned in his New York Times article, "Why Memory of Sexual Violence Sustain". Research - Including participants reading "emotional" short stories that support his argument that trauma leads to "memories not to be lost".

It has been suggested that the intensity of the initial emotional response is not the perceived result but the main determinant of flash memory. In 1981, research on Flash memory of President Reagan 's attempt to assassinate attempted was done, and it turned out that the participants had accurate flash memory after 7 months of shooting. Respondents reported flash memory, but the result rating was lower. This research only evaluates the results of learning flash events, not evaluating how the results of participation events affect accuracy. Therefore, some people are uncertain about the degree of injury, and most people can only guess the final result. Flash memory in both modes indicates that the outcome of the event determines the strength of the emotional response. An important driving-type emotional response model suggests that individual results determine the intensity of emotional response

This model emphasizes that individual results determine the strength of emotional response. Therefore, these effects are an important element of flash memory formation and maintenance. This model is based on whether trauma events occurred during the Marmara earthquake. According to the results of this study, the memory of the people who experienced the earthquake is preserved as a whole and does not change with time. As a result of the retest, long-term memory of the victim group was shown to be longer, longer lasting and consistent than the control group. Therefore, based on this study, a new model was formed emphasizing that the result plays a very important role in the formation of flash memory.
