Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is the experience of knowing the meaning of a word but being unable to recall it. This often involves remembering certain details about the word, such as its first letter or its general shape, but not the word itself. This is a common experience and is not associated with suggestibility, change blindness, or absentmindedness.
