Mental block is happening to me every time that i will recite on our class. So i do is i will ask to my classmate the answer in the question. And sometimes its also happened to me when i feel nervous so i will try to calm my self and make my mind clear so i can back in focus again.

It just depends, if it's something that can wait. I myself, just wait until my minds clear . If the issue can't wait, I work through it a best as possible.

It depends. If it's a name, I was once told this tip. Sometimes it does actually work. The trick is to go through the alphabet, thinking on each letter as you say it. Do this once. Once you have gotten to Z, start over. Again, think on each letter. If you are focusing, once you pass the letter the name starts with, it will come to you. Otherwise, I make myself forget the topic. If not I'll get frustrated. Once it's out of my mind, the answer generally pops up out of no where. I find if it's a more broad mental block (like writer's block, for example), googling the topic helps. It gets my creative juices flowing. Hope this helps!
