Naturally occurring and experimentally induced tip-of-the-tongue experiences in three adult age groups
Article Abstract:
The effect of age on tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) experiences was examined. age-related increases in TOT experiences and in the time needed to resolve them were found for young versus young-old and young-old versus old-old groups. Both the amount of TOT experiences and the resolution time for TOT experiences increased with age, although even the oldest participants resolve virtually all TOT experiences given enough time.
