QUESTION 15

We find better performance in chess masters than chess novices when they are given a series of chessboards and told to memorize the positions of the pieces, as long as the chessboards resemble actual game states. This is probably because:

		chess masters, with more knowledge of their field, have every game state layout memorized
		chess masters, with more knowledge of their field, find the piece positions more meaningful and can condense the board in short term memory easily
		chess masters have a magic ability to retain the positions of all pieces
		chess masters, with more knowledge of their field, are able to mentally organize the board by surface features
