Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flashbulb memories are highly detailed and vivid memories of emotionally significant events. The moment of hearing about the 9/11 attacks is a perfect example of this type of memory. Episodic and autobiographical memories refer to personal experiences that are not necessarily emotionally significant, while repressed memories are memories that have been suppressed due to their traumatic nature.
