Document Summary
Interested in how stimulus elicits a specific response. We emphasize on how the brain processes steps for producing motor output. Stages of information processing are serial and discrete- have to finish processing one stage before you can go onto the next. Training pattern recognition can optimize performance in temporally demanding sports and occupations. 3 groups: people who don"t play chess, medium players, and masters. Presented pictures of chess board in a game like situation very fast- 30ms. After each trial- asked people to recall where all the chess pieces were. B- don"t play, a- medium, m- masters. Y axis- accuracy, x axis- number of trials. Each trial was a different display of pieces. Chess masters reached 100% accuracy after 4 trials- not very difficult for them. Medium- took longer to reach 100% accuracy. Chess masters have better recall accuracy than the other group or they just have better memory- wanted to determine what happened.
