Presque, Deja, and Jamais Vu (A short study)
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 12:09 am
B. L. Schwartz who studied TOTs (English acronym meaning Tip of the Tongue) found that 45 out of 51 different languages, all had some metaphor or idioms referring to throat, mouth or tongue that had similar meaning to the English idiom "Tip of the tongue".This obviously means that all cultures and languages, meaning people both educated and not, people both young and old (official studies have not been made on children, but have on young adults) have all had this strange feeling happen to them. I find this to be of no surprise. It seems closely related to Deja Vu and Jamais Vu as far as what you feel in your head, or your neurological phenomenon.
I experience true deja vu about once a week, which is more often than most studied cases, that did not have any form of dementia or neurological disorder/disease. I experience jamais vu far less often, and can only properly recall 3-5 times ever. But I get TOTs or "presque vu" almost daily, it usually happens when I'm writing in English class or doing any sort of writing. I've been reading a lot about this for a long time now. Tons of studies and many different websites about each one. This is just a random few paragraphs I'd already typed up about some things in very shortened summary that I've learned.
