Do you find that sometimes a particular word has just temporarily slipped your mind and you just can’t get it out of your mouth ?
Coffee may be the cause. Coffee drinkers claim that a cuppa helps them stay alert but a study revealed that it might disrupt your short-term recall of specific words, the so-called “tip of the tongue syndrome”.
One researcher believes that alertness produced by caffeine happens as the result of closing down other pathways, one of which is the one which helps you recall certain words!
