Generally, presque vu is quite common and unavoidable. So don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t reach the thing that’s on the tip of your tongue. So, unless your memory is generally deteriorating, presque vu is not something you should worry about. Unless something is constantly repeated in our brains, we cannot be expected to remember everything. We naturally forget and remember things as we go about our lives. Presque vu is about as common as déjà vu but all the more annoying. Consequently, this brings forward context of the memory without the memory itself. Accessibility heuristic suggests that we experience presque vu when we have a lot of strong information.As a result, we’ll find it difficult to recall information when we do not recognise these cues. Cue familiarity theory suggests we form relations from certain verbal cues.This theory has two different explanations as to how this might be. The inferential theory claims that presque vu occurs when we cannot infer enough from the clues provided to recall the actual memory. For instance, the actual word we are looking for is causing a tip of the tongue feeling. Therefore, a semantic, or linguistic stimulation of memory may not sufficiently activate the phonological memory. In transmission deficit thesis, semantic and phonological information is stored and recalled differently.Incomplete activation thesis occurs when a target memory is not activated enough to be remembered.
As a consequence, it is difficult to think of the actual word or term. They might be related enough to be plausible. Blocking thesis states that the cues for the retrieval of memory are close to the actual memory but not close enough.There are three theses as to why this might happen: This means we feel the presence of the memory itself without being able to recall it. The Role of Memory Retrieval Direct Access Theoryĭirect access theory is where there is enough memory strength for the brain to signal a memory but not enough to recall it. There are two main theories as to why Presque vu occurs and each has its own sub-theories. However, there are occasions sometimes when the information never actually gets recalled, no matter how hard we try. This means that we might forget it in the moment, and then remember later. In the first instance, this because usually, it is information we are not constantly repeating to ourselves. Perhaps it is a fact we know but cannot quite remember what it is or where we learned it. In other cases, some people know so much about a certain topic that a single fact is hard to recall. In these types of cases, typically, people will recall the first letter or the number of syllables the word contains. We know that the frequency of presque vu increases with age and if people are tired. Studies show that this phenomenon occurs in over 90% of the population, so it is incredibly common. Presque vu happens because we remember something, but we cannot quite remember what it is that we want to remember. This is a common experience, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. We usually feel as though we are about to remember the thing we’re searching for. Presque vu is the frustrating incident of almost remembering, but not quite. This can make it a little embarrassing when we can’t remember. The experience is often coupled with absolute confidence that we know the answer. In other words, it is on the tip of our tongues. The way we experience it is a failure to remember something but feeling as though it is imminent. Presque vu literally means ‘ almost seen’. In fact, we have all felt it at some time or other. More to the point, it affects us all on a regular basis. What is all the more interesting, however, is that déjà vu isn’t the only ‘vu’ out there.
