For decades I've had a particular -tip of the tongue- experience every time I tried to recall the four most regular people on The Carol Burnett Show. I had the usual experience like everyone else, but with this show I could recall only three names but could not for the life of me recall the fourth. It didn't matter which three I named first. On one ridiculous occasion I remembered Harvey Korman, Vicky Lawrence and Tim Conway but could not remember Carol's name! Even now, typing this comment, I had to Google -The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia- to recall Vicky Lawrence because I remembered she sang that song.

Fascinating! I had a left brain stroke 13 years ago. I lost all my spoken language and writing. I did learn how to talk jibberish and swear, I was quite the patient. I still talk in jibberish to my cats because the words don-t matter, the tone and feeling of the language make sense to a cat.
I could speak English again but that was after three years of exhaustive learning. I got my job back, that is the only reason I can speak anything now.
I wonder how often I do the garden path sentencing? That looks like it is very relevant to me and my problems with writing. Good show.

Good stuff, as always (great work you're doing.
One tiny thing that doesn't sit so nicely with me is that - like many psycholinguists do as well - you say things like -words are related in the brain- (based on semantic priming, when really we mean -mind- and most of the theories are not about brains but minds (mental processors. 90% of psycholinguistics is not about the brain per se. I was lacking some classic behavioral experimental effects in comparison the flashy 'new' neuro stuff - like word frequency effects, the Stroop effect, or the McGurk effect.

Love the Jolene. :) My dad had Broca's aphasia after his stroke. He was never able to speak more than yes or no after, but he still understood at least three of the languages he knew before his stroke. As to kiki/bouba -- I went with the colors. Kiki for bright yellow/orange, bouba for the blue/green. Wonder what that means? Thanks for the video, as always. I love learning.

Fun fact: There is a more technical term for the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. It's called lethologica.
Funner fact: I once had the word -lethologica- on the tip of my tongue, as I was trying to recall the term for the phenomenon.
Also, this episode delights me especially, because ludolinguistics (such as garden path sentences) are what _I_ study.

A great series! Though I've got a question: how do we tell apart the domains of psycholinguistics, on the one hand, and cognitive linguistics, on the other? In Soviet- legacy countries most of what has been described here falls under Cognitive linguistics. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing this content.
Sometimes I have trouble remembering words.
Does that include a lack of oxygen in the brain? If so, is the oxygen supply in the body automatically supplied to the brain? Is the body weak due to lack of oxygen in the body?

at 8: 24 I wonder if this applies the same to languages like japanese where significant parts of the sentence are delivered at the end (i. e tense is dictated by the (final) verb in the clause, and for that matter, verbs are typically at the end of sentences)

ahhh i shouldve saved my analysis of intonation patterns of someone with Brocas Aphasia for THIS video. now i have nothing to comment on since i have nothing to say about psycholing otherwise.

Maybe because English is not my first language but I didn't get what was wrong at all with the rabbit sentence, but I found the sentence: -The horse raced past the barn fell. - and now I get it.
