Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question asks for a cognitive reason related to difficulties in writing clear and concise messages.
Recall that cognition involves mental processes such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, which affect how information is processed and expressed.
Identify that distractions by external noise are environmental factors, not cognitive limitations, so they are less relevant here.
Recognize that lacking software or preferring images are external or preference-based reasons, not cognitive reasons.
Focus on working memory, a cognitive system responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information, which is crucial for organizing and expressing ideas clearly.
