Re: Brooklyn Dodgers flashbulb memory
Just a thought...it's about time we find a new name for the concept of flashbulb memory. If you don't think so, ask your students how many of them have ever seen a flashbulb. On second thought, maybe some of the younger TIPS members themselves have never seen a flashbulb. I have a few in my infamous junk drawer. Think it's time to clean out my junk drawer?? Maybe I should donate them to the Smithsonian...

We could use Excel terminology and call it a Freeze Pane Memory. Maybe we could use internet terminology and call it a Cookie Memory. Or perhaps just good old VCR terminology and call it a Pause Memory. If we did this, when people experienced flashbacks we could call them Frame Advance memories. Rod __ Roderick D.

Hi Charles: Check Ulrich Neisser's book: Memory Observed. In it he reprints the original Brown Kulik paper along with some other ANECDOTAL evidence that perhaps some of these are false.

Re: Brooklyn Dodgers flashbulb memory
Before this thread runs its course, I want to ask people about the content of my earlier post. I said (something like) it happened on Friday because I know my lab section met on Friday and it was after the lab that I learned about it (the assassination). Therefore, it was on Friday. How much inferential stuff goes into FM? It's almost like saying that I know I wore blue socks on Friday and I had on blue socks and, therefore, it was on Friday. I do or did not remember specifically that it was on a certain day, but that it was on a certain day because ... Do you see my point?
