The TOT (tip of the tongue) is evidence that all is not lost in memory
although there may be retrieval difficulties.THe TOT apparently addresses
only auditory phenomenon.
My question : is there a comparable phenomenon for visual storage,like
say TOV -Tip of Vision? I guess subjects who are asked to reproduce
something visually ( maybe eyewitnesses,painters or visual atrists may
experience such.)
And while on this subject,(free associating)do the deaf experience some
kind of TOT
phenomenon?
