On September 12, 2001, Psychologists Jennifer Talarico and David Rubin

On September 12, 2001, psychologists Jennifer Talarico and David Rubin (2003) had Duke University students complete questionnaires about how they learned about the terrorist attacks against the United States the previous day. For comparison, students also described some ordinary event that had occurred in their lives at about the same time, such as going to a sporting event. Students were then randomly assigned to a follow-up session either 1 week, 6 weeks, or 32 weeks later. What did the results indicate?

A) Inconsistencies did not occur over time in either the ordinary memories or the 9/11 memories, but the students perceived their ordinary memories as being more vivid and accurate.
B) Memories of everyday events contained inconsistencies, but the memories of learning about the 9/11 terrorist attacks remained consistent and accurate.
C) The flashbulb memories of learning about the terrorist attacks deteriorated over time, but the everyday memories remained consistent and accurate over time.
D) Inconsistencies occurred over time in both the ordinary memories and the 9/11 memories, but the students perceived their 9/11 memories as being vivid and accurate.
