Valentina,
Well, the "LOL" is on you.
Richard failed to add anything new to the two previous responses that each
posited linguistic surface feature analysis as being responsible for generate
the "feeling of not knowing" with that *particular* (and, admittedly
poorly-chosen) example query. This mechanism will, however, apply to only a
very tiny number of cases.
In response to those first two replies (not including Richard's), I apologized
for the sloppy example and offered a new one. Please read the entire thread and
the new example. I think you'll find Richard's and your explanation will fail
to address how the new example might generate the "feeling of not knowing."
Cheers,
Brad

lol.. well said richard.
the stimuli simply invokes no signiticant response and thus our brain
concludes that we 'don't know'. that's why it takes no effort to realize
it. agi algorithms should be built in a similar way, rather than searching.
Isn't this a bit of a no-brainer? Why would the human brain need to
keep lists of things it did not know, when it can simply break the
word down into components, then have mechanisms that watch for the
rate at which candidate lexical items become activated .... when
this mechanism notices that the rate of activation is well below
the usual threshold, it is a fairly simple thing for it to announce
that the item is not known.
Keeping lists of "things not known" is wildly, outrageously
impossible, for any system! Would we really expect that the word
"ikrwfheuigjsjboweonwjebgowinwkjbcewijcniwecwoicmuwbpiwjdncwjkdncowk-
owejwenowuycgxnjwiiweudnpwieudnwheudxiweidhuxehwuixwefgyjsdhxeiowudx-
hwieuhyxweipudxhnweduiweodiuweydnxiweudhcnhweduweiducyenwhuwiepixuwe-
dpiuwezpiweudnzpwieumzweuipweiuzmwepoidumw" is represented somewhere
as a "word that I do not know"? :-)
I note that even in the simplest word-recognition neural nets that I
built and studied in the 1990s, activation of a nonword proceeded in
a very different way than activation of a word: it would have been
easy to build something to trigger a "this is a nonword" neuron.
Is there some type of AI formalism where nonword recognition would
be problematic?
