Finding the creation of your flashbulb memory

Reference no: EM133426365

Assignment:

First, describe, in detail, one of your own flashbulb memories, including your age at the time of the event. Then, discuss:

a. the most significant factors that contributed to the vividness of this memory

b. the research findings of Brown and Kulik (see below) state that the principal two determinants for the formation of a flashbulb memory appear to be a high level of surprise and/or a high level of consequentiality and emotional arousal. Do these findings support the creation of your flashbulb memory? Explain. Then provide information from your text that summarizes the process of information/experience making its way into long term memory, as well as the pertinent information about the biology of the creation of very vivid, flashbulb memories.

What are some of the likely consequences of all people (not just you) frequently being absolutely certain about the details of their particular memories, even when confronted with contradictory data? Do not limit your answer to flashbulb memories, but rather discuss the implications of people being certain of the accuracy of many of their long-term memories. Include consequences that are both personal, as well as consequences that may have broader social implications.

How do the perspectives people acquire over a life-time shape and mold how they both experience and then remember certain events in their lives?

Here, I expect you to reference specific information from the notes provided in Unit 1A on perspectives, applying that information to the subject of memory.
