Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Janie was unable to recall the fifth point despite knowing that it was related to taxes. This phenomenon is known as the tip-of-the-tongue where the information is stored in the memory but the individual is unable to retrieve it. The other options (encoding problems, storage inversion, evaluation overload) do not accurately describe Janie's situation.
