Cognition.

Explanation:

Since the hair cells in the basilar membrane of Haley had a series of high-pitched tones and she also recognized the ringtone is for the calls form her mother. Since she forgot to call her mother as promised this feeling is best described as cognition.

In cognition a person acquires knowledge and understands through his/her senses, thought and experience. So she sensed that something is not as usual and she came to know that she had forgotten to call her mother.
