|
|
Masters were able to use their knowledge of chess to chunk when chess pieces are presented in both a normal and randomised way
|
|
|
Masters recognise chunks in a normal board position more quickly and can encode more information in these chunks
|
|
|
Masters performed better than beginners because they have better memory
|
|
|
Masters performed worse when shown a randomised board position as they could not use their knowledge of chess to chunk

Detailed explanation-1: -Chase and Simon (1973b) proposed that, during the brief presentation of a chess position, players recognise already familiar chunks on the board and place pointers to these chunks in a short-term memory of limited size.
Detailed explanation-2: -These patterns suggested that the better chess players were recalling more pieces in each chunk. Using this technique, the data suggest that better players were able to recall both more chunks and larger chunks in each trial.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chess players have an advantage in remembering the positions of pieces on the board because they can “chunk” sets of pieces into meaningful groups. Chess masters can recall more pieces compared to novices from a chess board that could occur in an actual chess game but not from a board with randomly-placed chess pieces.
