   2 flagged findings, both unverified quotes attributed to real researchers: Dr. Sonia Lupien with an unverified precise 'within minutes' recovery claim, and Dr. Deborah Burke with generic-sounding unverified phrasing, neither with a locatable source.

   Before

   "The mechanism of exam blank-outs is not mysterious...Interventions that reduce the acute stress response restore access to consolidated knowledge within minutes." -- Dr. Sonia Lupien, Centre for Studies on Human Stress, University of Montreal | "Tip-of-tongue states are among the most studied retrieval failures in cognitive psychology...produce faster resolution." -- Dr. Deborah Burke, Psychology Department, Pomona College

   After

   The mechanism of exam blank-outs is not mysterious...Interventions that reduce the acute stress response can restore access to consolidated knowledge relatively quickly. | Tip-of-tongue states are among the most studied retrieval failures in cognitive psychology...tend to produce faster resolution.

   Why: De-attributed two unverified quotes credited to real researchers (Dr. Sonia Lupien and Dr. Deborah Burke) with no verifiable source. Softened the Lupien quote's unverified precise 'within minutes' recovery claim to qualitative language; retained the legitimate Lupien and Burke academic references unchanged.
