Researchers interested in the nature of flashbulb memories asked Danish people who lived through the Nazi occupation for memories that could be checked against objective records
What did their findings reveal about the memories these people had of events during World War II?
a) Memories were quite accurate, especially among members of the resistance.
b) They had only scattered memories that often could not be checked because they tended to confuse dates and places.
c) Although most of these people believed their memories were accurate, objective records indicated they made frequent and sometimes large errors.
d) Their degree of suffering seemed to reduce the accuracy of recall, which supports the concept of repression more than the concept of flashbulb memories.
