Have you ever had your grandmother, or even yourself, or whoever go down a list of names in the family before getting to yours? Or when you are in the middle of a conversation and you cannot remember a particular word? Is there a name that I can Google to do research on this topic?

Ok, I figured Alzheimers would be said a lot, and that is a given, but what about young people who forget. I know there are some of us out there no where near being a senior citizen and deal with forgetting words. But, thank you for ALL your answers.

There are many reasons someone might forget a word at any given time, but if you're trying to think of a disease, then how about Alzheimer's Disease?

There is no Scientific answer for that (Unless you are talking about a Dog who can "sniff" the odors of a dead carcas) There is a Biblical answer for that: a witch.

memory lapse or forgetfulness.
A lot of people experience memory lapses. Some memory problems are serious, and others are not. People who have serious changes in their memory, personality, and behavior may suffer from a form of brain disease called dementia. Dementia seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is one of many types of dementia.

Might be this:
"Apraxia of speech: Frequently used by speech pathologists to designate an impairment in the voluntary production of articulation and prosody (the rhythm and timing) of speech. It is characterized by highly inconsistent errors. "
Check the link below for the National Aphasia Organization for lots of information about speech difficulty.

It could be a kind of aphasia, but you might cross reference under "senior moment" to find a better term

I prefer "brain fart"; my sister uses "senior's moment". I have also found out that I have "noun aphasia".
