Subjects: Flashbulb memory.
Description: Looks at flashbulb memories - recollections of unexpected and emotional events - and examines how they compare with other recollections. Reviewing evidence since Brown and Kulick's 1977 paper, this work asks whether emotion and arousal strengthen memory and, if so, by what physiological mechanisms.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Papers from the Emory Cognition Project conference on flasbulb memories, held on Feb. 2-3, 1990.
