Declarative Memory

The memory is of an event that had a big impact on me as a child.

Sensory Connections

Taste
I had a grape kool-aide pouch with lunch and was still drinking it when I went out to recess. That taste reminds me of the fire.
Sight
When I see the school now, the first thing I remember is that fire.
Smell
Wild fire smoke reminds me of the fire in the field

Memory Errors

The call to the school was not to evacuate, but to make the teachers aware of the situation.
The field is not as close to the school in real life as it was in my memory.

Cognitive Hook

Fear
I was deathly afraid of fires as a small child. The fear makes the memory very vivd.
