AI-produced glitch memories are like a reversal of flashbulb memories.
“AI-produced glitch memories are like a reversal of ' flashbulb memories ' (Brown and Kulik 1977; Conway 1995; Neisser 1982/2000), namely human memories recalled so vividly and with such clarity, they are said to possess a ' photographic ' quality (Hoskins 2009b).”
From AI and memory (2024) · cites this paper as Brown and Kulik 1977
A distinction between memory systems specialized for verbal and perceptual (visual, spatial, auditory, olfactory) material has emerged from studies of both short-term and long-term memory for nonautobiographical material.
“As proposed by a number of theorists (R. Brown & Kulik, 1977; Chun & Johnson, 2011; Johnson & Multhaup, 1992; Paivio, 1971; Pillemer, 1998), a distinction between memory systems specialized for verbal and perceptual (visual, spatial, auditory, olfactory) material has emerged from studies of both short-term and long-term memory for nonautobiographical material.”

Flashbulb memories are highly durable, explicit recollections of the details of events that had transpired during emotional experiences.
“Flashbulb memories are highly durable, explicit recollections of the details of events that had transpired during emotional experiences (Brown and Kulik [37]; Schmidt [92]).”
From The Temporal Dynamics Model of Emotional Memory Processing: A Synthesis on the Neurobiological Basis of Stress-Induced Amnesia, Flashbulb and Traumatic Memories, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law (2007) · cites this paper as Brown and Kulik [37]
Flashbulb memories are usually recalled with a higher degree of confidence than other memories of equal age, even when individuals are confronted with evidence that the event in memory could not have occurred as it is remembered.
“Flashbulb memories are usually recalled with a higher degree of confidence than other memories of equal age (Brown & Kulik, 1977;Talarico & Rubin, 2003), even when individuals are confronted with evidence that the event in memory could not have occurred as it is remembered (Neisser & Harsch, 1992).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
