How does the process of remembering something when it’s on the ‘tip of your tongue’ work?
In: Biology
Adding to the other comment, one thing your brain does to try and help remember things, is to block out extraneous information that might be, well, extra. Sometimes we end up blocking the thing we were trying to remember, making it really difficult to recall. I recently couldn’t remember the name “Tom Cruise” for a while. This will keep happening until you stop trying and your brain eventually stops blocking it out. That’s why you suddenly can have those “aha” moments an hour later.
