Older adult were found to be more confident in their memories then younger adults, in regards to who they were with, where they were, and their own personal emotions at the time of hearing the news of 9/11. Older adults remembered a vast majority of events between the ages of 10-30, a period known as the “The reminiscence bump”. During this time period, events occur during a time of finding ones identity and peak brain function. These events tend to be more talked about than events occurring outside this period. Flashbulb memories from the “reminiscence bump” are better remembered by older adults than are memories are having recently occurred.
