Document Summary
Transposition errors: after chunking of abcd efgh, transposition error more likely to occur within a chunk than across. Ie. abdc efgh more likely than abce dfgh: probe rts shorted within than across chunks. No diff b/w lists, no photographic learning: comparing constrained & unconstrained lists. Supports reliance on chunking (constrained lists make chunking difficult) 1 = sun, 2 = shoe, 3 = tree, 4 = door: mneonics work best when applying distinctiveness. Relevance to real world: helps with everyday memory tasks, useful in high-stress situations. Acquisition of expertise: result of deliberate practice. 10 year rule takes 10 years of deliberate practice to become expert at a complex task. Not just any practice: amount of experience / exposure often weak predictor of performance, deliberate practice = strong predictor, opportunities for repetition & error correction. Power law of practice: experts & amateurs share same power function but diff ranges. Only thing that sets them apart is practice.
