A theatre technician completes two tasks during a rehearsal.
| Task | Result |
|---|---|
| A control screen containing several lighting symbols is shown for one second. She focuses on one symbol. | Two seconds later, she reports the symbol she focused on but cannot report the other symbols. |
| A six-digit lighting cue is read aloud and she repeats it silently. | She recalls all six digits after 25 seconds. While completing a calculation, she stops repeating the cue and then cannot recall it. |
Describe how two different stores in the Multi-store Model of memory account for the technician's results.
