Answer 1

Flashbulb memory: A memory which is so detailed and exceptionally clear that it clips to the mind exactly the way it was sequenced.This happens because the emotional arousal at that time is heightened and that scenario or ' consequential pictures' engraves to the mind.

I would like to share an experience of the flashbulb memory that I had during my childhood.I was playing with my cousins when I heard people shouting about earthquake in India. I was so terrified when I saw people running on the alleys.That was so disastrous that it etched to my mind permanently.Whenever I think about it, I feel so scared and a very clear picture is fixed to my mind forever.

Good Luck!
