Examples of tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon in the following topics:
-
- Overall, the mechanisms of memory are not completely understood.
- The testing effect shows that practicing retrieval of a concept can increase the chance of remembering it.
- The primacy effect occurs when a participant remembers words from the beginning of a list better than the words from the middle or end.
- Past memories can inhibit the encoding of new memories.
- Occasionally, a person will experience a specific type of retrieval failure called tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon.
-
- The trace decay theory of forgetting states that all memories fade automatically as a function of time.
- Having such a strong memory would negatively impact the recall of the new information, and when asked how many planets there are, someone who grew up thinking of Pluto as a planet might say nine instead of eight.
- State-dependent cues are governed by the state of mind at the time of encoding.
- Memory retrieval can be facilitated or triggered by replication of the context in which the memory was encoded.
- Blocking is a primary cause of the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon.
-
- The tongue is the main sensory organ of the gustatory system.
- fungiform papillae, which are mushroom-shaped and located at the tip of the tongue;
- foliate papillae, which are ridges and grooves toward the back of the tongue;
- circumvallate papillae, which are circular-shaped and located in a row just in front of the end of the tongue.
- They each contain a taste pore at the surface of the tongue which is the site of sensory transduction.
-
- This is typically some part of the tongue or lips.
- The back of the tongue.
- Postero-dorsal (back of tongue body), 15.
- Antero-dorsal (front of tongue body), 16.
- Apical (apex or tongue tip), and 18.
-
- Another broadly acceptable definition of a sense is: A system that consists of a group of sensory cell types, responding to a specific physical phenomenon, and corresponding to a particular group of regions within the brain where the signals are received and interpreted.
- Taste
stimuli are encountered by receptor cells located in taste buds
on the tongue and pharynx.
- Proprioception, the kinesthetic sense, provides the parietal cortex of the brain with information on the relative positions of the parts of the body.
- Neurologists test this sense by telling patients to close their eyes and touch their own nose with the tip of a finger.
- It was previously believed that pain was simply the overloading of pressure receptors, but research in the first half of the 20th century showed that pain is a distinct phenomenon that intertwines with all of the other senses, including touch.

- The following pronunciation (often called Roman) is substantially that employed by the Romans at the height of their civilization; i.e., roughly, from 50 B.C. to 50 A.D.
- t is always a plain t, never with the sound of sh as in Eng. oration.
- g always as in get; when ngu precedes a vowel, gu has the sound of gw, as in anguis, languidus.
- r was probably slightly trilled with the tip of the tongue.
- s always voiceless as in sin; in suādeō, suāvis, suēscō, and in compounds and derivatives of these words, su has the sound of sw.

- We as humans are unique in our use of tongue, lips, and other movable parts of the speech mechanism.
- The first act of speech is breathing, in which you get air into a storage chamber; second is phonation, the process by which you force air into vibration by the action of the vocal folds; third, resonation, in which your mouth,nose and throat cavities amplify the sound so you can hear it; and finally there is articulation, in which you modify the sound by movement of the teeth, tongue, and lips into recognizable patterns.
- The syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds.
- For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter.
- You can connect to one of the online dictionaries which has an audio of the preferred pronunciations if you are unsure.
-
- The delivery of your message may be just as important as the words you speak.
- While fashion may change as quickly as the seasons, some basic tips regarding business professional or business formal attire hold true:
- Otherwise, choose a pair of shoes in which you are confident you can be sturdy when entering and exiting the stage as well as standing for the duration of your speech.
- Be on the lookout for phrases that might trip you up or leave you tongue-tied.
- Practice your speech in front of another person or small group of people: ask them if what you're saying--from the ideas to which you're trying to get across to your phrasing, tone and style--make sense to them.

- Cleavage lines are topological lines drawn on a map of the human body and correspond to the orientation of collagen fibers in the dermis.
- The lines were first described in 1861 by Austrian anatomist Karl Langer, though he cited the surgeon Baron Dupuytren as being the first to recognize the phenomenon.
- Langer punctured numerous holes at short distances from each other into the skin of a cadaver with a tool that had a circular-shaped tip, similar to an ice pick.
- Tension lines of the human skin.
- They follow the main fibres of the connective tissue of skin.
