Although research has been published on TOTs for over a century, the experience retains its fascination for both cognitive and linguistic researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a review of various research procedures used to study TOTs, the book offers a summary of attempts to manipulate this rare cognitive experience through cue and prime procedures. Various aspects of the inaccessible target word are frequently available - such as first letter and syllable number - even in the absence of actual retrieval, and the book explores the implications of these bits of target-word information for mechanisms for word storage and retrieval. It also examines: what characteristics of a word make it potentially more vulnerable to a TOT; why words related to the target word (called \"interlopers\") often come to mind; the recovery process, when the momentarily-inaccessible word is recovered shortly after the TOT is first experienced; and efforts to evaluate individual differences in the likelihood to experience TOTs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45235815186583,"sku":"9781841694443","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841694443.webp?v=1769210995","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-tip-of-the-tongue-state-9781841694443","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
