This book brings together the body of empirical findings and
theoretical interpretations of the tip of the tongue (TOT)
experience - when a well-known or familiar word cannot immediately
be recalled. Although research has been published on TOTs for over
a century, the experience retains its fascination for both
cognitive and linguistic researchers. After 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.
