The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon: Irrelevant neural network localization or disruption of its interneuron links ?
On the base of recently proposed three-stage quantitative neural network model of the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon a possibility to occur of TOT states coursed by neural network interneuron links' disruption has been studied. Using a numerical example it was found that TOTs coursed by interneron links' disruption are in (1.5 + - 0.3)x1000 times less probable then those coursed by irrelevant (incomplete) neural network localization. It was shown that delayed TOT states' etiology cannot be related to neural network interneuron links' disruption.
