The document summarizes research on flashbulb memories, which are highly vivid and accurate memories of learning about emotionally arousing events. Several studies examined the accuracy and consistency of flashbulb memories over time. While initial studies found high accuracy, later work found inconsistencies in memory details within a few years. Factors like media engagement and discussions can impact memory confidence even if not accuracy. Overall, flashbulb memories are subject to the reconstructive nature of memory and inconsistencies, though the core experience may be remembered emotionally.
