Abstract
Older adults experience more tip-of-the-tongue states than young adults. Humphreys and colleagues have found that TOT states tend to repeat for individual words at a rate greater than can be predicted by chance. We explored whether or not TOT states are more likely to repeat for proper or common nouns.
