Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flashbulb memory refers to the vivid and detailed memories of surprising and emotionally significant events that people recall with high confidence. These memories are typically tied to the context or circumstances surrounding the event, such as where the person was, what they were doing, and how they felt at the time. Procedural memory refers to memories of motor skills and habits, while relational memory refers to memories of the connections between people, places, and things. Iconic memory refers to very brief visual memory. Thus, none of these options are as relevant to the given scenario as flashbulb memory.
