Feeling of Knowing and Retrieval Failure: Tip-of-the-Tongue State is Not the Only Option

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

    Abstract

    We investigated whether individuals are able to differentiate being in a tip-of-the-tongue state from the metacognitive experience of knowing information, but being unable to recall it. Results indicate that being unable to recall known information is separate from, and more common than, experiencing a tip-of-the-tongue state.
