Hi Nikki, This is the challenge for many students. Finding the right word to describe the object or situation. They have stored to work describing the situation or object and have stored the definition of the situation or object. They just can't retrieve them together. This is a form of aphasia which commonly occurs when an individual is under stress. What instructors need to do is to create memory strategies for students so they can see the association between the definition and the object. This helps to create a bridge for the learner. Gary
