Resumo: Examination of the differences in perceptual strategy between expert and novice performers has become an increasingly common research focus in both cognitive and sport psychology. Inspired mainly by the seminal studies in chess, initially by de Groot (1965) and later by Chase and Simon (1973), a large number of studies have recently examined the notion that the ability to recognize and memorize pattems and structures inherent in the perceptual display is one of fundamental characteristics of expertise. Chase and Simon demonstrated that master chess players, when asked to recall the positions of briefly presented chess pieces, were able to do so in a better way than lesser skilled players when placement of pieces on the board was typical of game situations, but not when the placement was random. This suggested that the recall superiority shown the expert players was not a function of greater memory capacity but rather was related to the use of different encoding and retrieval strategies. The experts strategy was apparently based on recognition of the structure of the display, rather tiian on the simple position of individual pieces or display components.
