McCloskey, Wible, and Cohen's (1988) research on people's memories of the Challenger explosion demonstrated that people's flashbulb memories were not necessarily more accurate than normal memories. people's flashbulb memories were found to be persistently vivid and detailed people had just as accurate recall of the explosion after nine months as they did immediately after the explosion. people tended to give descriptions of the event that were more general at first but more specific after nine months had past. Suppose that patient M.B. had short-term memory but could not form new long-term memories. In contrast suppose that patient N.N. had deficits in short-term memory but was able to form new long-term memories. This dissociation could be taken as evidence that short-term memory impairment results in less severe forms of amnesia short-term memory is necessary for consolidation of new long-term memory short-term memory is not necessary for the formation of new long term memories sensory memory is fundamentally connected with short-term memoryExplanation / Answer
1. The correct answer is Option A. The authors’ research demonstrated that people’s flashbulb memories were not necessarily more accurate than normal memories.
2. The correct answer is Option C. These results indicate that short term memory is not necessary for the formation of long term memories.
