Resumen
The game of chess involves cognitive demands that are experienced as effort. It has been proposed that these cognitive resources consumption have a metabolic dimension on the nervous tissue so that it would be a physiologically measurable phenomenon. In the present work we studied the effect of different attentional and cognitive demands within the game of chess have on behavioral and electroencephalographic measurements. We designed a chess problem, to be solved by chess expert players (N = 18), with differnet levels of difficulty. In our results, an increase in reaction times and accuracy were related to attentional demand increase. An increase in Alpha band power in parieto-occipital regions was observed, indicating a posible greater involvement of these areas in overall task processing.
