Abstract
With waning effectiveness of common flashbulb memory examples (e.g., September 11th), we investigate the effectiveness of the 2016 U.S. presidential election to serve as a flashbulb memory. Our results suggest that the 2016 election memory is more impactful and is recalled more vividly than other memories.
