The cost to retrieve these states is typically greater for non-focal tasks than for focal tasks. In PAM theory, these states are controlled by a capacity-consuming “monitoring” system and a “retrospective” system that discriminates between target and non-target events. The faculty that controls these mental states is typically modeled as five steps: formation, delay-maintenance, recognition of a time or event-based cue, recall of these states, then execution.
