[QUOTE="Hornbein, post: 6848782, member: 489043"] While what will follow is off the topic it is nevertheless interesting. Basketball star Larry Bird and golf star Sam Snead didn't use abstraction. Larry remembered every play in basketball. Larry could watch a play from a game film from years prior and tell you what game it was and which play preceded and followed it. Sam could do the same with every golf shot he had ever taken. This seems to have been an advantage to them. Larry could remember a similar play from the past and so pass to a teammate even though unable to see him. Sam could remember whatever might have been imperfect about some similar shot from the past and correct for it in the present. [/QUOTE]
