as far as I understand it, a flashback is the insertion of an incident into a narrative that happened prior to the one unfolding. Do memories a character consciously invokes fall under this category?
For example, if a kid in a story is considering whether to swipe a cookie from a jar, but then gets to thinking about how he got punished last time for doing that would the account of his being made to stand in a corner be considered a flashback?
