Recollections of unexpected and emotional events (called
'flashbulb' memories) have long been the subject of theoretical
speculation. Previous meetings have brought together everyone who
has done research on memories of the Challenger explosion, in order
to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of flashbulb
memories. How do flashbulb memories compare with other kinds of
recollections? Are they unusually accurate, or especially
long-lived? Do they reflect the activity of a special mechanism, as
has been suggested? Although Affect and Accuracy in Recall focuses
on flashbulb memories, it addresses more general issues of affect
and accuracy. Do emotion and arousal strengthen memory? If so,
under what conditions? By what physiological mechanisms? This 1993
volume is evidence of progress made in memory research since Brown
and Kulick's 1977 paper.
