For nearly 25 years, expertise has been considered an important
testing ground for theories of cognition. Cognitive scientists have
examined experts as diverse as chess masters, waiters, field-hockey
players, and computer programmers. Recently, increased attention
has been given to the arts, including dance, music appreciation and
performance, and literary analysis. It is therefore somewhat
surprising that--except for the authors' program of research dating
from the late 1980s--virtually no studies on the cognitive
processes of professional actors can be found in the literature.
These experts not only routinely memorize hours of verbal material
in a very short time, but they retrieve it verbatim along with the
accompanying gestures, movements, thoughts, and emotions of the
characters. The mental processes involved in this task constitute
the subject of this recent research and are described in detail in
this book.
