Question

Daniella Cantu · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The tip-of-the-tongue effect refers to the situation when we know a word but cannot produce it or retrieve it from memory. This phenomenon occurs when the memory retrieval process fails to access the phonological information associated with a word, even though its semantic information is available. It's often described as having the sensation of knowing the word, but being just out of reach or on the tip of the tongue.
