Editing Flashbulb memory (section)

=== Importance-driven emotional reactions model===
This model emphasizes that personal consequences determine intensity of emotional reactions.<ref name= "Wiley"/> These consequences are, therefore, critical operators in the formation and maintenance of flashbulb memories.  This model was based on whether traumatic events were experienced or not during the Marmara earthquake.  According to the findings of this study, the memories of the people who experienced the earthquake were preserved as a whole, and unchanged over time.  Results of the re-test showed that the [[long-term memory|long-term memories]] of the victim group are more complete, more durable and more consistent than those of the comparison group.  Therefore, based on this study, a new model was formed that highlights that consequences play a very large role in the formation of flashbulb memories.<ref name= "Wiley"/>
