Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Psyc3330 w11/Group22 - Tip of the tongue

Hey guys, Della here. Just FYI, the referencing info goes after the period (.) DellaRuth (talk) 16:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply


When referencing, once you have named the reference, on subsequent references, you only need to provide the ref name and can omit the actual referencing information. It makes the editing page a lot more concise and easy to navigate.

Example: (I use parentheses here instead of "greater than/less than" symbols ">" "<", so you can see the markup I am writing without it being formatted)

First use of this reference looks like this.(ref name="Rose")Rose, D. (2011). Referencing advice post. Wikipedia, talk page.(/ref)

Subsequent uses of the same reference would look like this.(ref name="Rose")(/ref)

If you are planning on adding information from the old page, I would suggest omitting the part about the "Horsey Name" story because I read it and it doesn't really describe a tip of the tongue phenomenon per se. Also the statement about the reference to TOT states in non-academic literature beginning in 1885 is not cited and cannot be verified DellaRuth (talk) 21:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey okay so I just worked on this for literally 8 hours straight but it doesn't really look like it. I hate how long this takes! Anyways, I'm going to stop now because I have to eat and do other assignments but I wanted to possibly add a section on the study of TOT in the lab, like the type of test used to induce it, face naming tasks, definitions of words, the use of rare/infrequent words, use of pictures and/or drawings, the use of fake words that are previously encoded, diary studies, supplying first letter stems, etc. I also wanted to add a section on the relation of metacognition/metamemory to the concept of TOT, as well as a section about psycholinguistics, and how knowledge from this area plays a role in the understanding of TOT and vice versa, as TOT studies are also used to draw inferences about memory and the way words' phonological, semantic and lexical components are separated and stored in memory, etc. Most of these ideas are drawn from Schwartz, B. L.(1999) which you can find here http://www2.fiu.edu/~schwartb/sparkling.pdf if you are interested in filling out these areas in the next 4 hours before this is due.
