Can a transient ischemic attack cause temporary confusion and inability to remember answers to questions?

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary interruption of blood supply to part of the brain. The most common symptoms are sudden weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body, problems speaking, and/or vision changes. The symptoms typically last a few minutes to a few hours and then resolve spontaneously. Temporary confusion and not being able to respond to questions without other symptoms would be unusual for a TIA and would be more suggestive of a partial seizure.
