Abstract
Koriat models the feeling of knowing as a graded sense that material is available — built from partial cues that come to mind — before the person can retrieve the full answer.

Key findings
- Accessibility signal — Partial traces that come to mind raise the feeling that the answer is there, even before recall succeeds.
- Graded, not binary — Knowing-that-you-know is a strength, not a yes/no meter of accuracy.
Application
When you can recite a definition on paper and still do not move, ask whether the body has a feeling of knowing under load — or only a list. Pair Degree of evidence.
