The TOT effect, or Tip-of-the-Tongue effect, occurs when a person is unable to retrieve a word or piece of information from memory, despite feeling that it is just out of reach. This phenomenon often leads individuals to recall related information, such as the first letter of the word or similar-sounding words, but not the target word itself. It highlights the complexities of memory retrieval and the distinction between knowing and being able to access information. The TOT effect can be frustrating but is a common experience in everyday life.
