When it comes to solving math problems on tests, Brandon can recall all the formulas perfectly. But as he actively works to solve a problem, he has trouble keeping track of the variables that he manipulates in his mind. This example describes how Brandon most likely has limited ______.a) sensory storageb) working memory
