Imagine that a friend has just read a magazine article that discusses flashbulb memories, and your friend argues that people retain a very clear memory of certain emotional events. What would you respond?

a) yes the research strongly supports the concept of certain strong, almost permanent memories for highly important events.

b) yes the article is correct that some memories are very clear, but these fade after 2-3 years.

c) no, the article overstates the case; these memories can be inaccurate and can fade with time.

d) no there is no evidence for flashbulb memories.
