put on the spot and put under pressure are 2 different things
1. put under pressure activates a fight or flight response, your brain is occupied in this situation with getting out and not with giving an answer
2. put on the spot has many conotations: depends if you feel threatend by the speaker (how your brain percieves the way the question is being asked), if you would like to impress him/her, if you have too many options (you like a lot of styles of music), if you’re annoyed by the person (you than look for a generic answer ending the conversation), the world around you (maybe your brain is concentrating on something else). All these and many other factors play a role in the activity of your brain at that time. And sometimes it’s too much to compute, several areas of your brain compete to give the final answer…. which doesn’t come
