What exactly happens to our brains when we immediately forget what we were meant to do or say?

Question

It seems odd to relate this to phenomena to short term memory loss as it can affect anyone with a normal functioning memory.

I’m referring to moments where we forget why we entered a room, while only deciding to action a task a few seconds prior. Or forgetting what you wanted to say next in a discussion, while the subject is still fresh in your mind.
