摘要：Authors Catherine Thomas-Antérion , Céline Borg , Hélène Vioux , Bernard Laurent Unité de neuropsychologie-CM2R, CHU Nord, 42055 Saint-Étienne cedex 02 Key words: public events memory, vivid memory, flashbulb memories, community memory, Alzheimer, Parkinson DOI : 10.1684/nrp.2010.0055 Page(s) : 55-60 Published in: 2010 Public events memory can have semantic and episodic components. In some case, individuals retain vivid and detailed recollection of the event, even long after the event’s occurrence. The hallmark of flashbulb memories (FBM) is that individuals remember the details of the reception event. In examining FBM, we can distinguish responses concerning objective canonical features: place, time, phenomenological details. These events are particularly memorable, emotionally charged, surprising and have a strong global impact [the events of September 11 th 2001 9.11)]. FBM don’t represent a distinct form of memory because they decay over time and they are affected by ageing. In fact, the effect of age only seems to exist for elderly subjects. FBM are impaired in Alzheimer’s disease and less in Parkinson’s disease. In Alzheimer’s disease, semantic components of public events are also impaired. The study of FBM learned us about episodic memory and community memory practices. It is possible to dissociate memory for facts (semantic memory) from memory for self-relevant information (autobiographical memory) and better understand the relationships between different systems of memory in new multisystems models of memory.
