Chase and Simon (1973) and Gobet and Simon (1998) found that expert players in chess and football could recall significantly more game-related moves or plays than novices, but this was specifically true for moves that were logical or made sense within the context of the game's rules. This indicates that expertise in a domain improves memory for information that is meaningful or relevant within that domain.
