...or Flashbulb Memories.
Have any of you ever heard of these? A snapshot moment or a flashbulb memory? You probably have, but never mind, eh?
I got this book for a present at Christmas, for a joke. Called 'Learn To Remember'; seeing as I'm a little confused a remembering what a memory 'is'!
But I was having a little read of it the other day, and it brought the snapshot moment subject up, and it was pretty interesting! And I have discovered a new side of my memory!! yahooo!!
This is what it said:
"Do you remember what you were doing when you heard of Princess Diana's death (August 31, 1997)?
When a very shocking event takes place, often we recall a host of trivial details that occured in our lives at the same time, such as 'where we were', or 'who we were with'. Those are called flashbulb memories.
Psychologists James Kulick and Roger Brown, who identified this phenomenom in 1977, proposed that a shocking event may activate a special process in the brain, which they call a "now print". Unlike normal memory, this "freezes" the moment in the mind, like a snapshot. Insignificant details, such as the quality of the light, may be remembered with hyperclarity. Flashbulb memories are not immune to distortion, but many are extrememly accurate and persist longer than ordinary memories."
I guess that's pretty interesting...?? :-)
So what about in the movie 'American Beauty', when Jane says "Mum, I really don't feel like a 'Kodak moment' right now." Is that what she means?!! Just a thought! And, yes, I can remember more about films than what's happening everyday!
Anyways, basically, have you ever heard of a snapshot/flashbulb moment?
Have you ever had one?
:-)
