My tech folks interested in learning & mentoring, this one's for you. A while back someone tweeted asking, “when do we introduce abstracts?” I explained a bit websonthewebs.com/tackling-the-a… but now I have research to back it up In the article "Cognitive architecture and instructional design" Sweller, van Merrienboer, & Paas examine the difference between novice & grandmaster chess players. When asked to re-create board configurations from previous games, chess grandmasters were able to do that easily.
