What are the differences in memory and information processing between individuals who are experts and individuals who are novices in a particular area?
What will be an ideal response?
Experts mentally organize their knowledge about topics differently than do novices. For example, expert chess players can mentally group entire chess board configurations and store it as a single chunk in their memory. In contrast, novices can only think about, store, and retrieve a few pieces of information at a time. Experts also are able to categorize information based on general principles instead of based on surface-level characteristics.
