An Expert Reflects: Conscious Deliberation in the Art of Chess
Friday, 19 June 2009, 3.30 PM, Zrinyi 14 room 412
Abstract:
To gain insight into human nature philosophers often discuss the inferior performance that results from such deficits as blindsight, agnosia, or amnesia. Less often do they look at superior abilities. A notable exception to this is Herbert Dreyfus who has developed a theory of expertise according to which expert action proceeds basically automatically and unreflectively. And this, as he sees it, suggests that our uniquely human freedom to step back and reflect upon our actions is actually rather insignificant to our lives. I question Dreyfus's starting point. Contrary to Dreyfus who argues that "the enemy of expertise is thought," I shall argue that, at least in chess, an expert reflects.

neuroscience.
Seeking a postdoctoral fellow to conduct optical imaging, fMRI, and
electrophysiology in awake nonhuman primates performing perception,
attention, and memory tasks. Scientific questions focus on relationship of
visual and tactile sensorimotor behaviors to functional modules in cerebral
cortex. The competitive candidate will have strong background and research
experience in systems neuroscience, in vivo electrophysiological recording,
and strong quantitative skills. Experience with optical imaging
methodologies and Matlab are a plus. For publications and information about
lab members, please see http://www.psy.vanderbilt.edu/
