In the study examining novice and expert chess players' memory, the experts' advantage was most pronounced when viewing what?
Explanation
This question targets the central finding of the Chase and Simon (1973) chess experiment, which is fundamental to understanding expertise. The expert's memory advantage is not general but is highly specific to structured, meaningful patterns within their domain.
