Tip-of-the-tongue states (TOTs) in prficient Hebrew-English bilinguals were compared to those of age-mathced monolinguals. Monolinguals retrived words in English, and bilinguals retrived words from both languages. Results showed an increased TOT rate in bilinguals. However, bilinguals demonstrated comparable rates of spontaneous resolution, and similar ability to access partial information about target words. Interestingly, bilinguals named the same number of targets as monolinguals when naming an item in either language was counted as a correct response. Besides bilingualism, other factors that predicted TOT rate included word frequency (only for bilinguals), and age (younger participatns had more TOTs). Unexpectedly, TOTs for Hebrew targets were not charactirezed by increased access to grammatical gender and number of syllables relative to control states, thus contrasting notably with TOTs for Italian and English targets respectively. We discuss these results in terms of their relevance for constraining models of bilingual lexical access and models of TOT.
