Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Tip-of-the-tongue effect.

Explanation:

The failure to retrieve a word from memory, combined with partial recall and the feeling that retrieval is imminent is known by psychologists as the "tip-of-the-tongue effect." The tip-of-the-tongue effect is the feeling you have when you can't just quite put your finger on it, a more common saying; "It's on the tip of my tongue." It's when you cannot remember a word, but you know more about the words background to know that if you think hard enough the word will pop in your mind.

Hope this helps.
