Not all memories are created equal. Our memories for some very
exceptional events seem to stand out in our minds, and as such they
may form the very core of who we are. Perhaps you have a vivid
recollection of a fateful day, an unforgettable face, or a
hilarious joke. This book summarizes theories and data that provide
insight into these extraordinary memories for exceptional events.
The book begins with a classification scheme for exceptional
events, followed by a theoretical overview grounded in four
metaphors of memory. The classification scheme and theoretical
perspectives are used to explore topics including: flashbulb
memories, the influence of emotion on memory, the bizarre imagery
effect, the humor effect, the serial position effect, and the
isolation effect. The conclusion provides a framework for
understanding these outstanding memories for exceptional events.
