{"pk":30973,"title":"On the Domain Specificity of Expertise in an Ill-Structured Domain","subtitle":null,"abstract":"An important issue concerns the relation between expertise in highly-structured domains and ill structured domains. This study explored the information processing abilities associated with expertise in literature, an ill-structured domain. Literary experts were superior to novices in gist level recall, the extraction of interpretations and the breadth of aspects addressed of literary texts but not of a scientific text. The results indicate that expertise in literature appears to share features with expertise in highly-structured domains, including domain-specificity and an absu^ct level of representation.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Group 4: Learning and Memory","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54h4s99w","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Colleen","middle_name":"M.","last_name":"Zeitz","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1990-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30973/galley/20822/download/"}]}
