Memory for chess positions (featuring grandmaster Patrick Wolff)
Переглядів 101 тис.12 років тому
Chess grandmaster Patrick Wolff performs a classic chess memory task (filmed by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris). We showed him a card depicting a chess position and he then reconstructed the position on a chess board from memory. He makes almost no mistakes for a typical chess position, but has poor memory for a position in which the pieces were randomly positioned. The video illustrates...
Gradual Change Test 1

This example comes from a study by Simons, Franconeri, & Reimer (2000). Try to find what's changing in this video. Only one thing changes in the video, but most people don't spot it on the first try. It is an example of change blindness. You can learn more at www.theinvisiblegorilla.com or from www.dansimons.com

invisible gorilla around town

Here's what happens when a person in a gorilla suit walks around town. Visit www.theinvisiblegorilla.com for more information.
Gaslighting 101 😂
Why do they keep going back and forth between the park and the restaurant?
The conclusion of this chess memory study is related to one of Gestalt Principles on Perception which is specifically on "proximity". Humans tend to view or perceive something as a cluster or a group rather than individual details.
Cosmo Kramer: The Undergraduate Years
He's not super eloquent, but I get the point he's trying to make at the end. Also, he proves the point even more strongly by being able to swap back and forth between two different boards, both of which he still remembers.
i found the gorilla you idiot
Somewhat shutter Island
watching it on 1st Jan 2023...happy new year mind
Hate to say I noticed most of the changes, except maybe the "SUSHI" text being replaced by "MENU" on that card, which is pretty inconsequential. But I wasn't gonna call it out, just thinking to myself: "wow, this is some awful editing and camerawork, those weirdly out of place photo-wallpapers are encroaching on the shot aggressively and they need to turn that 'nature sounds' ASMR back down in this restaurant" until suddenly the table vanished out of existence. 😄
Besides the miscontinuity edits, I found the atmosphere to get ominous which was heightened by the fact the actress reminded me of the creepy Elizabeth Holmes.
Nobody mentions the water changing into ice when she spills it!
Noticed everything, but I just kept assuming it was George Lucas repeatedly making edits trying to make it his “original true vision” of the film.
I noticed the cups changing but didn't notice the background until the end 😶
Not bragging or anything but I remember positions of all 32 pieces of every chess game, before the 1st move is made. Ok, sometimes I could mess up the bishop and knight positions and where the King and Queen go relative to each other, but still pretty impressive huh?
It is 2021 now
Looked like the glasses of water kept changing to full, then half full, then empty in front off the lady, then full in front off the guy, and then empty when they went to drink from it, moreover, the back ground keep changing from a picnic back ground to a restaurant picture window background.
Tertan buradaydı.
Been reviewing this study - thanks for the video
I love how gracefully yet deliberately he moves the pieces
No kidding. Impressive. They all play blitz chess over the board so I imagine it’s muscle memory. The pieces are bottom weighted too so you can sling them around faster.
Im a casual low rated player but I almost puked at the second position.
it's interesting to me that in the second example he places the kings and pawns first, it seems these are the things he focuses on?
It seems that regularly as a principle he looks at the king safety first when he evaluates the position. That's why I think he remembers it. At the previous example which was almost an endgame, the king was safer thus he looked first on the plan.
Chess players remember patterns, that is the reason why he is struggling with random positions.
Homo sapiens try to recognize patterns. Put a chimpanzee on a similar task, I bet they perform better.
Wolff remembered the patterns because the patterns contained meaning for him. That's the big take away from this video. So we're dealing with something quite profound actually, way beyond mere pattern recognition.
This is great! Wonder what he was really doing... 🤔🤔
Wait is he a murderer I don't get it
Can I use this video in my UA-cam video creation for the same topic
Winner of a video, been searching for "memorization tips and tricks" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yiyevi Ponevi Approach - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Terrible acting
Did you watch all the way through? The acting’s not the point
I expected this. I knew at the beginning it would become a picnic because of the background
Watch selective attention test, the basket ball hits the girl in her head
So the lastest video doesn’t allow comments I will just say HES ALIVE?!
Disabling comments is for little bitches.
The forest scenery was just too dark and creepy. I noticed everything, but the dark ambiguity of the forest and strange dialogue was creeping me out too hard
Sometimes in a movie they will show a chess game underway (just a prop, not part of the movie) and often I will notice that the arrangement of the pieces is not at all like they might be in a "real" game. Its like someone (maybe someone who does not play chess) just set some pieces on the board. I think I see that because I know how to play chess (at an low to average ability) and not because I have a good memory.
Good job genius
frenadol for your father.
Try to remember a real sentance, versus try to remember a bunch of random words and letters.
if only we knew
Try not stealing comments from previous posters.

Not bad considering his "strong suit" is Bridge :).
Intuition can be more important with chess in scenarios, where a sequence of moves have to be executed in some order, to achieve some result. A true chess master, would able to play the board not only through rigid analytic moves, but based on their 'gut', statistical likelihoods of what moves their opponents will make. In contrast to what Chabris and Simons have to say, it is obvious, that giants like Magnus Carlson, aren't thinking through each move step by step, but instead very heuristically/intuitively considering multiple outcomes, before making an analytic judgements. “It’s hard to explain. Sometimes a move just feels right.” - magnus carlsen Just to note intuition can mean at least a few different things...subconscious calculations, sense of statistical regularities in occurrence (temporal), sense of statistical regularities between structures (spatial), or just an unexplained feeling that something is the case.
In the first position, the Queen was in the same diagonal as the King. That was important. It is nevertheless very impressive what he can remember. One of the Chessmaster programs had a feature at the beginning, it was a puzzle but with the same spirit, very random position of the pieces, it was really confusing. Of course, it was on purpose. BTW, I know Patrick Wolf from a documentary, Kasparov vs US junior champions. Wolf was the only one who beat K!
I noticed half as they happened. Mostly the background I did not notice the props.
I don't see the point at all. It's like saying try to remember a real sentence like "I am from Norway", versus try to remember just random letters. Obviously harder to remember random stuff.
The point is, as mentioned in the description, to "illustrate(s) the powerful effect of expertise on pattern perception and memory", you grouch.
I don't think it is about memory, per se, more about perception. So, imagine you are looking at some data, perhaps some stats, or maybe just observing the world go by. Maybe you think you understand what is happening. You do not. You recognise certain patterns or things you expect to see, and anything you do not expect to see, no matter how big or important, it is hard to recognise it, you miss it, or overlook it.
John you either a very good chess player that what he does seems normal or you dont know how chess is played and you think of course he knows he is a chess player thats what he does.
try that and you will get beat, because one thing your completely forgetting about that aspect of chess, yes the openings are memorize but to be a grandmaster means you have to be superb in opening,middle game, endgame and TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS, try acting random with a grandmaster and they will kill you with TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS... so the best thing for you to do is memorize the openings get the feel for them and understand the variations and play with them against ppl and grow intuition
lol
Chess masters can exhibit remarkable memory for location of chess pieces on a board. After just a single five-second exposure to a board from an actual game, international masters in one study remembered the locations of nearly all twenty-five pieces, whereas beginners could remember the locations of only about four pieces.
There's a big difference between application of meaningful information than just working off of running memory of organizing nonsensical information. The brain works much better with stimulus with significance than random. It helps for achieving more efficient nueroplasticity. This video illustrates this well.
This test was somehow what happens in dreams.
You’re onto something there
Were you watching M'aiq the Liar?
Playing Armis really gives you the super fast brain workout to keep you super sharp with your Chess game.
origanaly the guy had 2 glasses
Thats not the point... the point is that his memory of 250,000 odd game positions (the average for a GM) will recall patterns of a typical game, he doesn't have to remember all the pieces but he recognizes the pattern and triangulates (sort of).
cool. The amount if pieces in both exercises shoud have been the same though
