Tip of the Tongue States
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-37203-9 (ISBN)
The tip-of-the-tongue state-the feeling that something that we cannot recall is close to coming to mind-is a window onto many facets of the human mind. It lies at an intersection where memory mechanisms, language processes, attention, metacognition, conscious awareness, goal-driven behaviours, curiosity, and even decision-making and risk-taking all seem to cross. In this book, Anne Cleary and Bennett Schwartz explain how tip-of-the-tongue states fit into our overall cognitive systems and what they tell us about the nature of cognition and consciousness. The tip-of-the-tongue state can wield enormous power over our attentional focus and what we choose to do next, regardless of what we had been doing before the onset of the feeling. In short, it wields the ability to redirect our mind. Cleary and Schwartz's text will appeal to students and researchers interested in the workings of the mind and brain.
Anne M. Cleary is Professor of Psychology at Colorado State University. Her research examines odd memory phenomena like déjà vu through the perspective of their potential usefulness, for instance in driving goal-oriented behavior. She has published over seventy professional articles and book chapters as well as three books, including The Déjà vu Experience (2nd Edition, 2021), and Memory Quirks (2020). Bennett L. Schwartz is Professor of Psychology at Florida International University. His work on metacognition and memory in both humans and non-humans has been published in more than 100 journal articles, books, and book chapters. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of the journal Memory & Cognition.
