A way to calculate strength and appearance probability of tip-of-the-tongue states, neural network mechanism of feeling-of-knowing phenomenon are proposed. The model synthesizes memory, psycholinguistic, and metamemory approaches, bridges speech errors and naming chronometry research traditions. A model analysis of a tip-of-the-tongue case from Anton Chekhov's short story 'A Horsey Name' is performed. A new 'throw-up-one's-arms effect' is defined.Proceedings of the IX-th International Conference Knowledge-Dialog-Solution (KDS-2001), held on June 19-22, 2001 in St-Petersburg, Russia, pages 158-165 (in Russian)Computation and LanguageArtificial IntelligenceNeurons and CognitionQuantitative MethodsI.2.7text
