Additionally‚ the theory of flashbulb memory developed by Brown and Kulik in 1977 provides another explanation why traumatic memories are difficult to forget and are easier to recall than other memories. “Flashbulb memory is a type of episodic (explicit) memory that is highly accurate and exceptionally vivid.” (Hannibal‚ 32). Brown and Kulik demonstrated from their experiment that flashbulb memories are not accurate‚ but are more accessible and vivid because they involve strong emotion‚ which causes

The Atkinson–Shiffrin model or the Multi-Store model is a model of memory that is broken down into sub-models of memory: the multi-memory model and the modal model.

Early psychology researchers have been baffled by memory distortions. Just as the memory is made‚ it can be distorted
