Struggling to remember a word on the tip of your tongue is a common experience known as a tip-of-the-tongue moment. These occurrences are universal and can happen for familiar or unfamiliar words. Research suggests that infrequently used words are more likely to cause this phenomenon, but actively engaging with words can help prevent it. Emotional arousal, such as saying taboo words, can also impact word retrieval positively. The key to recalling elusive words lies in accessing their initial syllables rather than focusing solely on the first letter. While these strategies may not eliminate all tip-of-the-tongue moments, they can significantly improve word recall over time.
