Tip-of-the-Tongue and Feeling-of-Knowing Experiences Enhance Metacognitive Sensitivity of Confidence Evaluation of Semantic Memory.

Journal of cognition·2025

Understanding consciousness requires exploring internally generated experiences, like autobiographical memory and metacognitive states. These conscious feelings, such as tip-of-the-tongue phenomena, drive actions and are key to cognitive research.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • Morsella et al. primarily investigate the conscious nature of sensation.
  • Understanding consciousness also necessitates examining internally generated experiences.
  • Examples include autobiographical memory and metacognitive experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of internally generated experiences in understanding consciousness.
  • To connect internally driven experiences with conscious awareness and action.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of consciousness.
  • Review of existing literature on sensation, memory, and metacognition.

Main Results:

  • Internally generated experiences, such as autobiographical memory and metacognitive states (e.g., tip-of-the-tongue states), are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of consciousness.

  • These experiences are conscious feelings that arise independently of immediate sensory input.
  • Internally driven experiences motivate behavior, aligning with current theoretical frameworks.

    • Conclusions:

    • A complete theory of consciousness must integrate both sensory-driven and internally generated experiences.
    • Further research into metacognitive experiences and memory content is vital for advancing consciousness studies.
