A group of art students completed a drawing exercise on two consecutive days in which they reconstructed visual scenes after viewing the scenes for a few seconds each. On the first day, students reconstructed a specific quadrant of each scene immediately after the scene was removed. Under these conditions, students typically reconstructed about 80% of the objects in the quadrant. On the second day, students were not told which quadrant to reconstruct until one second after the scene was removed.

The difference between students’ performance on the first and second days is most likely related to differences in ___.
