Chess Players' Thinking A Cognitive Psychological Approach

Chess has always been of interest to cognitive psychologists because it provides a way of investigating processes like thinking, memory, problem solving and the differences between machine and human processes. Chess Players' Thinking presents a new view about experts' thinking and how it should be studied. It provides a comprehensive analysis of chess players' cognition, but its main results should be generalizable to broader research on human expertise. Chess Players' Tinking provides readers interested in human cognitive skills with a new concept-based approach. It introduces and reanalyses a number of classic psychological concepts such as apperception and restructuing. It will be of great interest to all cognitive scientists working on human skills.Saariluoma, Pertti is the author of 'Chess Players' Thinking A Cognitive Psychological Approach' with ISBN 9780415120791 and ISBN 0415120799.
