This very thing happened to me recently in an interview. This was my first interview after not having actively interviewed for a few years now, so I was quite rusty. I was asked what some issues were that I worked on at an initial phase of the project and I blanked the fuck out and then instantly went into self-scrutiny and sweating as I spiralled into "oh crap I should really know this" and "this is making me look stupid" and wondering how I was coming across to the interviewer. I have some anxiety problems, that's there too - but point is that if you're not really prepared with answers to questions like these, it can seriously throw you off mid-interview.
