Flashbulb memory refers to the phenomenon where people can recall the details of what they were doing when they received news about an emotionally charged or surprising event, often with great clarity, as if the memory were captured by a camera's flash. This is because emotional arousal triggered by the event leads to the release of hormones that help to consolidate the memory more strongly.
