This is what happens in your brain when you can’t recall a word - Cella Wright (2025x94)


Ausstrahlung: Nov 20, 2025

You’re sure you know your 3rd grade teacher’s name— it’s like you’re hovering over it in your mind, but it just won’t materialize. Researchers call this tantalizing torment a “tip-of-the-tongue state,” and it’s something everyone experiences. But what’s actually happening when a word’s caught here, and how can you best get it unstuck? Cella Wright explores why your brain can struggle with recall. Lesson by Cella Wright, directed by Avi Ofer.
