Study Notes
Memory Studies
-
Wagenaar (1986): Collected diary data for six years, showing better memory recall with more cues (who, what, when, where). "Who, what, and where" cues were more effective than just "when" cues.
-
Gluck and Bluck (2007): Used memory probe method on 650 participants, finding positive memories recalled more readily than negative or neutral memories, with easier recall from specific life periods.
-
Rubin, Groth, and Goldsmith (1984): Demonstrated that cues like smells can trigger memories, recalled at earlier ages and more emotionally charged compared to word-based cues.
-
Berntsen and Thomsen (2005): Studied WWII memories in Denmark, showing that memories involving social/emotional involvement (like resistance) led to more accurate flashbulb memories.
-
Neisser and Harsch (1992): Challenger disaster flashbulb memory study, revealing that these memories are not as accurate as people believe, even though they are often felt as highly confident and vivid. Confidence ratings were high despite inaccuracies.
-
Talarico and Rubin (2003): Investigated 9/11 and everyday memories, finding no significant difference in forgetting rates for flashbulb and regular memories; the perceived difference lies in the "vividness" and feeling of permanence.
Additional Memory Studies
-
Berntsen (1996): Emotional valence of involuntary memories; positive/neutral more recalled than negative.
-
Walker, Vogl, and Thompson (1997): Track emotional intensity decline of memories over time. Found more significant drop for negative memories, supporting the idea that emotional intensity is a critical factor.
-
Conway, et al. (2005): Looked at reminiscence bump (ages of highest memory recall), finding it's a universal phenomenon across cultures despite cultural differences in content.
-
Storm and Jobe (2012): Explored positive bias and negative memory retrieval difficulty.
