Item “I know it, but... I have the word on the tip of my tongue!” TOT as phenomenon to re- thinking Metacognition and Feeling-of-knowing in Psychology (“Lo sé, pero... ¡tengo la palabra en la punta de la lengua!”: PDL como fenómeno para repensar la metacognición y la sensación de saber en Psicología)(2022) Fossa, Pablo; Gonzalez, Nicolás; García-Huidobro, Camila; Barros, Matías; Sanhueza, María IsabelThe phenomenon of having a word on the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) is an inherent psychological experience that emerges from an unsuccessful cognitive effort aimed at finding the right word to express a specific thought. From a Vygotskian perspective, this can be understood as a dynamic relationship between psychological processes that evolves over time, especially between thought and language, with these functions at times intersecting and later bifurcating —even aligning in parallel — during microgenetic human development. Following Vygotsky’s postulates, in this article we explore the TOT experience as an episodic gap between thought and language during daily psychological activity. Then, the notion of metacognition in psychology is adjunctly revisited and reviewed. Based on theoretical developments on the notion of feeling-of-knowing, the TOT experience and metacognition are reframed as affective phenomena and the accuracy of the traditional interpretation of metacognition as a cognitive-intellectual monitoring system is put into question. Finally, the article discusses possible contributions the TOT phenomenon and the feeling-of-knowing might offer to educational practices and processes.Item The experience of time in symbol formation process(2022) Fossa, Pablo; Sanhueza, María IsabelThe main objective of this article is to review the phenomenological theory of time in philosophy and the process of symbol formation in developmental psychology in order to explore a first approach to the integration of static-dynamic polarities in the construction of psychological experience. The interpretive hypothesis of the present work corresponds to the fact that in the discrete–continuous dual integration of the phenomenological theory of time with the theory of symbols formation in developmental psychology, the foundations and fundamental pillars of Cultural Semiotic Psychology are found.Publication Why Theory of Mind Is Not Enough to Understand Others?(2023) Sanhueza, María Isabel; Fossa, PabloTheory of Mind (ToM), understood as the ability to intuit one’s own mental states and those of others, has been extensively researched in developmental psychology and cognitive psychology. The psychological literature shows a direct relationship between ToM and the (self) reflective capacity of consciousness, a product of the cognitive effort that implies the understanding of one’s own subjectivity and that of others. In this sense, ToM has received a strong cognitive influence, subdimensioning other dimensions involved in the intersubjective process of mutual understanding. Based on the theory of pre-reflective consciousness and the theory of intuition in phenomenology, we propose in this paper that the process of understanding one’s own mental states and the mental states of others constitutes, mainly, a pre-reflective and intuitive experience, and that it is only possible to move on to reflection at a later time. In short, with contributions from the theory of pre-reflective consciousness and phenomenological intuition, the aim is to complement the theoretical bases of ToM in psychology; a theory that, without incorporating elements of phenomenology, remains incomplete.
