Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon occurs when a memory feels just out of reach, as if it is on the edge of consciousness but not quite accessible. The individual may struggle to recall specific details or words associated with the memory, leading to frustration and a sense of the memory being "stuck" just beyond their reach. Options A and B do not accurately describe this phenomenon, and while option C may sometimes be true, it is not a necessary characteristic of the tip-of-the-tongue experience.
