By way of analogy, this morning I briefly forgot the name of an author, but I knew the name of his most recent book (''My Lucky Star'') and that he is often compared to P.G. Wodehouse. I typed "my-lucky-star wodehouse" into Google, which is the closest thing we have to a global brain. Up came a page with the author's name in the title bar: Joe Keenan. In effect, I was priming Google. -- ["Ron Hale-Evans"] [[DateTime(2006-03-06T02:35:42Z)]] == Links == * [http://arginine.spc.org/vaughan/Vaughan_MPH_OvercomeTOTEffect.pdf Full text of hack (PDF)] * [http://web.archive.org/web/20050207165415/http://www.psy.ohio-state.edu/psy312/priming.html Priming tutorial (cache)] * Guide to tip-of-the-tongue experiences: http://www.memory-key.com/EverydayMemory/TOT.htm == Errata == Errata go here. == Hack Author == VaughanBell == Return to Main Book Page == This is a page for a hack from the book MindPerformanceHacks by ["Ron Hale-Evans"].
