===Emotional-integrative model=== The Emotional-Integrative Model of flashbulb memories integrates the two previously discussed models the Photographic Model and the Comprehensive Model.<ref name= "Finkenauer"/> Similar to the Photographic Model, the Emotional-Integrative Model states that the first step toward the registration of a flashbulb memory is an individual's degree of surprise associated with the event. This level of surprise triggers an emotional feeling state, which is also a result of the combination of the level of importance (consequentiality) of the event to the individual, and the individual's affective attitude. The emotional feeling state of the individual directly contributes to the creation of a flashbulb memory. To strengthen the association, thus enabling the individual to vividly remember the event, emotional feeling state and affective attitude contribute to overt rehearsal (mediator) of the event to strengthen the memory of the original event which, in turn, determines the formation of a flashbulb memory.<ref name="Finkenauer" /> According to the Emotional-Integrative model flashbulb memories can also be formed for expected events.<ref name="Curci2009">{{cite journal|last=Curci|first=A|author2=Luminet, O.|title=Flashbulb memories for expected events: A test of the emotional-integrative model|journal=Applied Cognitive Psychology|year=2009|volume=23|pages=98β114|doi=10.1002/acp.1444}}</ref> The formation of flashbulb memories in this case depends greatly on a high emotional relationship to the event and rehearsal of the memory.<ref name="Curci2009" />
