Flashbulb

Explanation:

A flashbulb memory is a highly comprehensive, unique graphic 'snapshot' of the time and happenings in which a bit of confounding and significant (or emotionally inducing) news was learned of.

The word "flashbulb memory" connotes the confounding, non-selective, expressed, and conciseness of a photograph; although flashbulb memories are only kind of non-selective and incomplete. Findings has supported that despite the fact that people are highly self-assured in their memories, the conciseness of the memories may not be exact as it happened.

Flashbulb memories are a form of autobiographical memory. Some researchers suppose that there is a need to distinguish flashbulb memories from varying forms of autobiographical memory since its dependent on factors of personal value, annotations, emotion, and amazement.

Flashbulb memories possesses six peculiar attributes: place, the present activity, informer, own effect, other effect, and aftermath. Possibly, the major stimulus of a flashbulb memory entails a risen level of surprise, a risen amount of antecedents, and maybe emotional inducement.
