message: In the TimesOnline quotation, the words "schizophrenia patients" were replaced by "crazy patients" and have now been restored. Unfortunately, the external link to the quote seems out of order. Correction: found it and explained in a note. Bessel Dekker 14:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this the same as "vuja de"? I guess the correct one is this, but "vuja de" might be mentioned in the article as well. 139.179.12.67 (talk) 21:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I always understood that Jamais Vu describes the case where one sees something for the first time that should have been noticed many times before.  For example: spotting an extremely distinctive building on a road you've travelled along many times.  Afterwards the seen object then becomes almost the only thing you notice at the location.  If this isn't Jamais Vu - what is it? TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 13:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I would like to know how this is associated with long term memory. Are the people who experience Jamais Vu usually healthy individuals or have they suffered seizures? Can this word be used to describe the symptoms of Alzheimers? I was driving down a very familiar highway once, and began to focus more on my surroundings - in doing this, I was so preoccupied with details that I had never before recognized and became lost. (I drove another 5 miles until I reached my exit, but was almost conviced that I had gone too far and should turn around). NBC has articles on Jamais Vu, and said that there were scientific studies done on the correlation between jamais vu and long term memory storage. Jillian.Hind (talk) 04:35, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds sensible - I would also like to know if this phenomenon can be experienced wholly as an obsessional anxiety Kathybramley (talk) 22:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is totally anecdotal, and you'll just have to live with that (or, you know, Google some other sources besides yours truly), but I have temporal lobe epilepsy and experience jamais vu frequently during a simple partial seizure. When this happens to me, I can be talking face to face with my wife, and she suddenly becomes a complete stranger to me. Like I've never seen her before. THAT's jamais vu as I know it -- I'm not familiar with it as this "never noticed something and get distracted by it" angle. I'd think this article would need some improvement first to better define jamais vu before addressing the memory issue, because it seems to be describing two different phenomena to me. As for me, I have memory problems, but it's because of epilepsy. AntarcticFox (talk) 04:43, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I think Jamais vu and Gestaltzerfall is the same, and should be merged. Anyone?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.131.74.60 (talk) 07:55, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The article Tip of the tongue makes no mention of the phrase "presque vu", and contains no references for that name.  Could someone find and add the most appropriate citation for that term to both this page and Tip of the tongue?  (A quick Google search finds several pages that mention the phrase, but from the first page of results, nothing really looked authoritative or citeable, mostly blog posts and Urban Dictionary.)  --ΨΦorg (talk) 00:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
