Board games have long fascinated as mirrors of intelligence, skill,
cunning, and wisdom. While board games have been the topic of many
scientific studies, and have been studied for more than a century
by psychologists, there was until now no single volume summarizing
psychological research into board games. This book, which is the
first systematic study of psychology and board games, covers topics
such as perception, memory, problem solving and decision making,
development, intelligence, emotions, motivation, education, and
neuroscience. It also briefly summarizes current research in
artificial intelligence aiming at developing computers playing
board games, and critically discusses how current theories of
expertise fare with board games. Finally, it shows that the
information provided by board game research, both data and
theories, have a wider relevance for the understanding of human
psychology in general.
Do you need to be a genius to be good at chess? What does it take
to become a Grandmaster? Can computer programmes beat human
intuition in gameplay? The Psychology of Chess is an insightful
overview of the roles of intelligence, expertise, and human
intuition in playing this complex and ancient game. The book
explores the idea of 'practice makes perfect', alongside accounts
of why men perform better than women in international rankings, and
why chess has become synonymous with extreme intelligence as well
as madness. When artificial intelligence researchers are
increasingly studying chess to develop machine learning, The
Psychology of Chess shows us how much it has already taught us
about the human mind.

Cognitive psychology addresses many fascinating questions about
memory, emotion and language:Can our identity be reduced to our
memories? What are emotions for? Are we born with an innate
knowledge of language? This introductory text is a concise guide to
the core fundamentals of cognitive psychology, rather than an
encyclopaedic volume. The authors cover a broad range of topics,
using their wealth of teaching experience to select the key
theories and most engaging examples. Lively and thought-provoking,
this new book conveys the sense of discovery that makes the subject
so exciting to study.
What makes an expert? What strategies do they use? If you're an
expert in one domain, are you more likely to become an expert in a
second? In examining questions like these, Professor Fernand Gobet
provides a comprehensive overview of the field of expertise. With
research from a wide range of disciplines, including psychology,
neuroscience, sociology, philosophy, education, law and artificial
intelligence, this is the definitive guide to the subject.
Understanding Expertise: A Multidisciplinary Approach - Considers
expertise on a number of levels ranging from the neural to the
psychological and the social; - Critically evaluates current
theories and approaches; - Addresses issues of key importance for
society, with implications for training methods and the development
of artificial expert systems.
