bullet::::- mandated vocabulary, where the writer must include specific words (for example, quadrivial quandary solicits individual sentences containing all four words in a daily selection).









































bullet::::- bilingual homophonous poetry, where the poem makes sense in two different languages at the same time, constituting two simultaneous homophonous poems.









































bullet::::- alliteratives or tautograms, in which every word must start with the same letter (or subset of letters; see "alphabetical africa").









































bullet::::- lipogram: a letter (commonly e or o) is outlawed.









































bullet::::- acrostics: first letter of each word/sentence/paragraph forms a word or sentence.

research on priming and practice use single word tests to assess for the presence of tot states. the first letter of the target word or a similar-sounding word is given in order to prime for the target word. evidence that comes from the usefulness of priming and practice in reducing tot states is that most information in tot states is low-frequency; that is, it has not been used or recalled for some time. the recency of information use can influence the retrieval process of that information. the presentation of a prime is only needed once for it to facilitate tot state resolution. support for priming has been found in that when individuals are given the first letter of the word they are trying to recall, they are more likely to overcome their tot state. when the prime is a related word instead of the first letter, an interesting effect occurs: when the prime word has similar phonology to the target word, an increase in the frequency of tot states and a higher frequency of correctly recalled words when the tot state is resolved is observed. incorrect words come to mind involuntarily that share similar phonological features with the target word. thus, phonological similarity can both decrease and increase tot states. however, it is possible to fix this problem by changing the syntactic class of the priming word. priming words that are in the same syntactic class as the target word create no difference in tot state resolution. the tot state resolution was the same for priming words in the same syntactic class and unrelated priming words. if the priming word is being listed in conjunction with other unrelated priming words, then the position is of importance. the earlier in the list the priming word is, the less likely it is to help resolve the tot state.
