Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Janie is experiencing the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, where she has difficulty retrieving information that she knows but cannot immediately recall. This is a memory retrieval problem, not an encoding or storage problem. There is no indication of evaluation overload, which refers to a situation where one is overwhelmed by too many choices or options.
