Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John, being an expert chess player, would have sophisticated schemas or mental frameworks that allow him to quickly process and remember the chess pieces' positions. Therefore, he is more likely to remember the position of the pieces. On the other hand, Mark, being a novice player, might have a higher arousal level because he was losing, but he may not have the necessary mental frameworks to remember the pieces' positions accurately. The options C and D are both incorrect as they do not align with the theories of memory and chess expertise.
