Analyzing Performance Discrepancies in a Pre-Trained Model

A research team has a fixed, pre-trained language model. They observe that for simple, factual recall questions, the model responds quickly and accurately. However, for complex reasoning problems, allowing the model more processing time and computational steps before it gives a final answer significantly improves its accuracy. Analyze this phenomenon. Why would providing more computational resources after the model has already been trained lead to better performance on reasoning tasks but not necessarily on simple recall?
