         I stumbled across a Blog by Daniel Simons, a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois. Simons conducts research on visual perception, attention, and awareness, and is co-author of The Invisible Gorilla: How Our intuitions Deceive Us. He made comments on de Groot’s research and has posted an interesting 5 minute video of former US Champion GM Patrick Wolff being tested to see how well he could remember positions after a brief look. What was interesting were Wolff’s comments attempting to explain how he remembered the positions.
