What process describes the recall of traumatic events frame by frame after they occur?

The correct response is that the process referring to the recall of traumatic events frame by frame after they occur is known as the flashback phenomenon. This experience often involves reliving the traumatic event vividly and in detail as if it were happening in the present moment. Flashbacks can be triggered by various stimuli, reminders, or sensory inputs associated with the original trauma, leading individuals to experience intense emotional and physical reactions.

Time dilation refers to the subjective experience that time seems to pass more slowly during a traumatic event; while individuals may perceive the event lasting longer than it actually did, it does not specifically involve the frame-by-frame recall characteristic of flashbacks. Cognitive dissonance refers to the mental discomfort experienced when holding two conflicting beliefs or values, which does not pertain to the recall of traumatic memories. Memory consolidation involves the process through which short-term memories are transformed into long-term memories, but it does not specifically address the vivid reliving of traumatic experiences associated with flashbacks.
