The study of flashbacks is becoming increasingly important, as new proposals for the 11th edition of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases give them an increasingly prominent role in the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. Amplifying the commentary of Kvavilashvili (2014), I contend that further progress is likely to depend on improved definition, distinguishing them from other forms of involuntary memory, and on more precise measurement. Improved measurement requires systematic testing of questionnaire and interview items as well as the use of experimental designs that contrast flashbacks directly with voluntary memory. Future research can now build on a solid base of theory and empirical findings, but it is always likely to be limited by the fact that it is difficult to bring involuntary memory under complete experimental control.
闪回研究变得越来越重要，因为世界卫生组织第 11 版国际疾病分类的新提案赋予了它们在创伤后应激障碍诊断中的突出作用。我赞同 Kvavilashvili（2014）的观点，进一步的进展可能取决于更好的定义，将其与其他形式的非自愿记忆区分开来，以及更精确的测量。改进的测量需要系统地测试问卷和访谈项目，以及使用实验设计直接对比闪回和自愿记忆。未来的研究现在可以建立在坚实的理论和实证研究基础上，但它总是会受到这样一个事实的限制，即很难将非自愿记忆完全置于实验控制之下。
