It’s not just memorization of the rules, in a game like Go that would only be a tiny fraction of the memory utilized. Remembering large numbers of examples assists in recognizing patterns and developing strategies.
- cgriswald 5y agoThat doesn’t really resolve the underlying problem. Given the same set of examples, the guy who memorized them faster isn’t necessarily the guy who wins. There is more going on than just “effortless memory.”
- dougabug 5y agoPresumably, human memory involves a significant associative aspect. If you couldn’t recall a relevant fact within a useful time frame, this might impact comprehension or the ability to make connections. Imagine trying to read a book, while only have a vocabulary of a few hundred words, or lacking the ability to remember more than the last few sentences. There are also fidelity issues. Suppose half of the facts or ideas you recalled were corrupted, or most of your retrieved memories were misassociated or irrelevant?
- cgriswald 5y agoSure, but I’m not disputing the necessity of a useful memory. I’m disputing its sufficiency.
