Quiz Champs
Need Time
And Motive

crammed with detail and a human
being who astoniShes the nation.
DR.. Claude e. Buxton. chairman Of
the Department Of Psychology at
Yale University, puts it this way:
Some people chase blondes, Others
play golf. A number seek out infor-
nation. For them, the acquisition Of
facts, as many as possible, fulflls an
important need"
Dr.. Livingston Welch, chairman
Of the Department Of Psychology
and Philosophy 1t New YOrk's
Hunter College, told ne: with .
memory that b concentrated upon
only one area, you can store up IN
immense amount Of information. But
you need the aIl-impOrtant motive
and, Of course, you need the time"
How Much Timer
Michael Della Rocca, the Long Island
cobbler with the astonishing knOwl-
edge Of opera, heard his first at the
age Of four and has been stepped in
the subject practically ever since.
Gino Prato, the other cobbler-
opera expert, knew his first libretto
by heart before he was ten. PATROL
man O'Hanlon spends ten hours a
week on Shakespeare and has been
bonine up on the bard since 1888.
Thomas ]. Kane, the Lockport,
N. r., cab driver who starred as
an English-languaee expert, says he
has been looking up words all his
life. Marine Captain Richard s.
McCutchen, who won So, 600 in the
food and cooking category, has been
collecting recipes for about 70 years.
Showgirl Barbara Hall, on the
other hand, hasn't been studying
Shakespeare for 70 years. She's only
"a years old = but she made up for
it by studying IA hours a day for
the quiz.
The quiz wonders possess good
memories, Of course, but do they
have freakishIy retentive minds? With
rare exceptions, they do not. Patrol
man O'HanIon, for example, told me
frankly: my ten-year-old daughter
Eileen has a better memory than l."
DR.. Joyce Brothers, the pretty
blonde psychologist with the ency-
cIopedic knowledge Of boxing, SCOTS
at the oft-told story that she has a
Photographic memory" Il have a
trained memory" she says, but by
no means an unusual one"
A remarkable memory is not the
answer to our quiz stars. They know
so much because Of an intense devo-
ton to their subjects, plus plenty Of
time to soak up the facts.
DR.. Leland w. Crafts, chairman
Of the Department Of Psychology at
Evening star., 1957-08-25

Washington Square College at New
York University. points out that quiz
winners sop up information most
persons don't consider important
enough to remember. Their knOwl-
edge is vast" he says, but not very
useful"
What about the other type Of quiz
eeehead = the ones who know every
thing about everything. Van Doren,
BIoomgarden, Mrs. Vivienne Near
ing? Psychologists explain their vast
stores Of knowledge in the same way.
They, too, have q strong motive to
learn, are urged on by curiosity, but
in all fields rather than specific ones.
InquisitiVeness leads them to their
sources Of information, and a habit
Of concentration at the moment Of
study implants the facts in their
minds. BloOmgarden, for instance,
owes his prodieious knowledge to
methodical, careful reading. Il know
people who boast they can read q
novel in q few hours" he says. Il
don't. I read more slowly and con-
centrate as l read"
Theodore Nader, the S70-a-week
US. Civil Service clerk who took
$4,000 in quiz winnings back to
St. Louis, is an exception among con-
teStants in that he has a rare gift Of
almost total recall. But that alone
doesn't explain his huge fund Of fact.
He, too. had a powerful motive to
learn. He left school in the eighth
grade and thereafter read everything
he could put his hands on.
a Magic Memory
Does Nader have a Photographic
memory? He would have to be tested
by a battery Of experts to find out.
A Photographic mind, known psy-
chOloeicaIly as ''eidetic imagery" is
rare and found more often in children
than adults. An eidetic individual can
look at an object, then see" it clearly
in his mind even years later. He can,
for example, glance at a comb. then
shut his eyes and count the teeth!
When the gift is found in children, it
almost always disappears as they
grow up.
But whatever the case with Nader,
the great majority Of the quiz kings
and queens accomplish their memory
magic with two simple tools:
4. A real urge to acquire facts.
Z. The time to satisfy il.
Ifyou have these two things, you're
probably on your way to becoming a
walking reference book yourself.
If you haven't got them, don't lose
a bit of sleep over it. Psychologists
agree that you're probably happier
the way you are! - The End
