“…Consistent with the findings from tasks such as recall of chess items, drawing electrical circuit diagrams, listing of words, and listing of programming keywords (Chase & Simon, 1973;Buschke, 1976;Reitman, 1976;Egan & Schwartz, 1979), the longer L2 pauses than L1 pauses across all tasks provided further indication that the participants treated the patterns as chunks at least in drawing complex abstract diagram such as the Rey figure. Further, the selection of patterns was consistent with the existing Rey figure scoring criteria (Osterrieth, 1944;Lezak, 1983;Corwin & Bylsma, 1993).…”

The study investigated the effects of chunking and perceptual patterns that guide the drawings of Rey complex figure. Ten adult participants (M age = 22.2 yr., SD = 4.1) reproduced a single stimulus in four drawing modes including delayed recall, tracing, copying, and immediate recall across 10 sessions producing a total of 400 trials. It was hypothesized that the effect of chunking is most obvious in the free recall tasks than in the tracing or copying tasks. Measures such as pauses, patterns of drawings, and transitions among patterns of drawings suggested that participants used chunking to aid rapid learning of the diagram. The analysis of the participants' sequence of chunk production further revealed that they used a spatial schema to organize the chunks. Findings from this study provide additional evidence to support prior studies that claim graphical information is hierarchically organized.

“…The partitioning technique devised by Reitman (1976) for studying GO players' memory has also offered supporting evidence for a LTM organization based on chunks. Chi (1978) showed that chunks were sometimes overlapping, which was also found in computer simulations using the chunking approach (De Groot & Gobet, 1996).…”

“…Many of the skill domains studied to date have required expertise in problem solving-for example, the games of chess (Chase & Simon, 1973a, 1973b, bridge (Charness, 1979), and Go (Reitman, 1976), medical diagnosis (e.g., Groen & Patel, 1988), solving physics problems (Chi, Feltovich, & Glaser, 1981), and computer programming (e.g., Soloway, Adelson, & Ehrlich, 1988). The most recent work has evaluated skilled memory directly by analyzing situations in which the recall of large amounts of infonnation is the skill (Ericsson, Chase, & Faloon, 1980;Ericsson & Polson, 1988).…”

The present studies extend skilled-memory theory to a domain involving the performance of motor sequences. Skilled figure skaters were better able than their less skilled counterparts to perform short skating sequences that were choreographed, rather than randomly constructed. Expert skaters encoded sequences for performance very differently from the way in which they encoded sequences that were verbally presented for verbal recall. Tasks interpolated between sequence and recall showed no significant influence on recall accuracy, implicating long-term memory in skating memory. There was little evidence for the use of retrieval structures when skaters learned the brief sequences used throughout these studies. Finally, expert skaters were able to judge the similarity of two skating elements faster than less skilled skaters, indicating a faster access to semantic memory for experts. The data indicate that skaters show many of the same skilled-memory characteristics as have been described in other skill domains involving memorization, such as digit span and memory for dinner orders.
