Flashbulb Memories: Special Mechanism

John F. Kennedy, Space Shuttle Challenger, and the assassination of Miami's hurricane that shocked Miami has something in common. All these events can be remembered by someone who has experienced through flash memory. R. Brown and J. Kulik (1977) define Flashbulb memory as a sharp, detailed and permanent memory of background news reception background (Curci, A., & Lanciano, T., 2009) . Those who have experienced such a huge event are confident that their flash memory is very accurate and I am sure that we can identify what happened during these events (Schwartz, 2013) .

The term "flash memory" was made by Brown and Kulik in 1977. They form a special mechanism hypothesis that there is a special biological memory mechanism to create a permanent record of the details and circumstances of the experience when caused by events of significant level and surpassing results did. Brown and Kulik believe that flash memory is permanent, but they are not always available from long-term memory. The special flash storage hypothesis assumes that the flash memory has special properties different from those created by "normal" memory mechanisms. The special mechanism creates precise, vivid and forgotten shaped details with great care. Since the initial creation of this term by Brown and Kulik, these initial characteristics of most flash memories are controversial.

There has been considerable debate as to whether the formation of flash memory includes its own mechanism or whether the normal memory process is sufficient to explain the memory of shocking public events. Sharot et al. For those in the vicinity of the World Trade Center, it has been found that the search of 9/11 memory contains a nervous system that is uniquely related to the influence of emotions on memory. Participation of these emotional memory circuits is consistent with the unique edge mechanism proposed by Brown and Kulik. However, these are the same neural mechanisms that are performed during the search of emotional stimuli in the laboratory. The consistency of the neural response patterns during the search of the emotional scenes presented in the laboratory and in flash memory suggests that even though different mechanisms are involved in flash memory, these mechanisms can be used to alter the nature of the surprising outcome of occurring events It is not unique to.

Studies have shown that Flash memory is caused by what is not surprising such as landing at the beginning of the month or unforeseen circumstances. Brown and Kulik define flash memory as the first memory of a shocking event, but extending that argument, the memory contains personal events belonging to the event itself. It was shown that by asking participants to regain lively autobiographical memory, it creates memories containing six features of flash memory. Therefore, a product in which such a memory is regarded as an ordinary memory mechanism has been proposed. In addition, Flash memory has proven to be susceptible to errors during reconfiguration, especially system deviation. Some people say flash memory is not particularly resistant to forgetting. Many studies have shown that flash memory is not particularly accurate, but they are very vivid and confident.
