Memory for chess positions (featuring grandmaster Patrick Wolff) Daniel Simons 2012-01-12 | Chess grandmaster Patrick Wolff performs a classic chess memory task (filmed by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris). We showed him a card depicting a chess position and he then reconstructed the position on a chess board from memory. He makes almost no mistakes for a typical chess position, but has poor memory for a position in which the pieces were randomly positioned. The video illustrates the powerful effect of expertise on pattern perception and memory. This video is ©1998/2011, Daniel J. Simons & Christopher F. Chabris. All rights are reserved.

Learn more and order from Basic Books, Amazon, or your favorite local bookstore. For more information, go to hachettebookgroup.com/titles/daniel-simons/nobodys-fool/9781541602236 A movie perception test by Daniel Levin & Daniel Simons. The video itself was used in research by Levin and Simons that was published in 1997 in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. The video is copyrighted and is provided here for individual viewing purposes only. If you would like to use it in teaching, talks, or presentations, it is available on DVDs from Viscog Productions (www.viscog.com). SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT: The video is a well-known demonstration of the phenomenon of change blindness: people fail to notice large changes to scenes when those changes occur during a brief disruption like a film cut. In the original study, people who were not expecting changes noticed none of the changes in this movie. On a second viewing, when they were looking for changes, they noticed fewer than 2 of the 9 changes on average. The changes are obvious once you know to look for them, but they do not grab attention automatically. You can learn more from the original journal article that is available from my reprint archive (http://www.psych.uiuc.edu/reprints/simons) or from my book with Christopher Chabris, The Invisible Gorilla (www.theinvisiblegorilla.com).
