Dear Colleagues,

We are, predictably I suppose (!), going to conduct a flashbulb memory study for the UK leaving the EU and for the resignation of the British Prime Minister. It would be great if we could cover as many European countries as possible (anyone know someone in Germany and Spain who might be interested?).
It will be a test-retest study with everyone sampled within two weeks of today and again in about 11 months time. Of course, all who participate will be authors on the resulting paper.
We will create the questionnaire this weekend and for those who decide to participate will email it on Monday and consider any suggestions for changes and implement them so that we have a questionnaire that is ready to go by Wednesday the 29th of June.
Note that one novel feature is that we will ask respondents to judge whether they remember, know, or guess the answer to specific questions. We have some data form other suggesting that this a good way to fine tune these FM questionnaires.
Any other suggestions very welcome and we do hope you will take part.
Very best,
Martin & Shazia
