Expertise and age effects on knowledge activation in chess

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine whether chess experts possess an earlier perceptual advantage over less skilled players. As the level of skill increased, it revealed differences in diminishing response time between check and threat tasks, yet the experts were equally fast on both tasks, thus suggesting that knowledge-activation processes necessary to assess basic chess relationships slow with age, even in experts.
