  1. amnestic aphasia

    Amnestic aphasia, also known as anomia or anomic aphasia, is a type of speech disorder characterized by a person's difficulty to recall certain words or names. It's a mild form of aphasia where comprehension and fluent speech are mostly preserved, however, individuals have trouble finding the correct words they want to say, particularly nouns and verbs. This could be due to various conditions such as stroke, brain injury, tumors, Alzheimer's or other neurological disorders. It seems as if the right word is on the tip of their tongue but they just can't quite retrieve it.
