The following are excerpts from Searching for Memory, Daniel L. Schacter, M.D.

Emotional Memories -
When the Past Persists

• Some flashbulb memories are indeed accurate and persistent.

• Yet even some highly consequential flashbulb events are not wholly unaffected by the passage of time that weakens other memories.

• Some flashbulb memories are far from photographic preservations of the original scene.

Personally Traumatic Memories - How Accurate Are They?

Some researchers have adopted the view that memory for emotionally traumatic events is accurately preserved--perhaps forever--in great detail, and therefore differs fundamentally from memory for non-emotional events, which is subject to decay and distortion. There is a good deal of merit to this view: memory for emotional trauma is frequently more accurate than memory for ordinary events. But even personally traumatic memories are sometimes subject to distortion. One might ask: "How can a particular memory be precise, detailed, and at the same time wrong?" One researcher, Lenore Terr, conducted a study that revealed evidence memory distortions of a traumatic event can be caused by the stress of the shocking episode.

Our Brain's Emotional Computer - The Amygdala

The release of stress-related hormones, signaled by the brain's emotional computer, the amygdala, probably accounts for some of the extraordinary power and persistence that characterize many highly emotional or traumatic experiences. Just like our more mundane memories, recollections of emotional traumas are constructions, not literal recordings. The amygdala works cooperatively with many other brain structures in order to assemble emotional memories.
