Our paper assesses whether these memories were triggered by the attacks of Friday 13 November 2015 in Paris. Two hundred and ninety-one participants answered a web-based questionnaire that assessed their memory of the circumstances in which they first learned of the attacks. The questionnaire also assessed vividness, rehearsal, emotion…

Positive facial expressions during retrieval of self-defining memories.
TLDR
This study investigated, for the first time, facial expressions during the retrieval of Self-defining memories (i.e., those vivid and emotionally intense memories of enduring concerns or unresolved conflicts) and attributed positive valence to the retrieved memories.
Effects of Emotional Valence and Depth of Processing on Memory
This study looks at the relationship between emotionally charged words and the depth at which information is processed and how this relationship affects memory. It is predicted that emotional stimuli…
Neurophysiological Correlates of the Dunning-Kruger Effect
TLDR
Episodic memory appears to play a contributory role in metacognitive judgments of illusory superiority and inferiority, such that under-estimators rely on recollection during memory and over-ESTimators draw upon excess familiarity when over-estimating their performance.

The formation of flashbulb memories
TLDR
A causal analysis of secondary variables showed that the formation of FB memories was primarily associated with the level of importance attached to the event and level of affective response to the news.
Distinct processes shape flashbulb and event memories
TLDR
Structural equation modeling showed that flashbulb memory and event memory could be clearly differentiated and were determined by two separate pathways and importance predicted emotional intensity, which predicted the frequency of overt and covert rehearsal, which enhanced the accuracy and certainty of event memory.
Confidence, Not Consistency, Characterizes Flashbulb Memories
TLDR
Initial visceral emotion ratings correlated with later belief in accuracy, but not consistency, for flashbulb memories, and predicted later posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms.
