Person

Roger Brown

Roger Brown was a prominent social psychologist at Harvard University who pioneered the study of language acquisition. In 1966, alongside David McNeill, he published the first empirical investigation into the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. Their research used a clever experimental design to induce memory failures in subjects, proving that the state was a legitimate psychological event rather than a mere illusion of knowing.
