De Groots basic findings are:
A GM does not calculate faster, more positions. No higher "Hz". He has also
no principially better memory. He is not better than an amateur in random
positions. If the positions is meaningfull (from a game) he concentrates on
the more relevant facts of a position. The Amateur
spents in contrast more energy on pointless moves/variations or unimportant
pieces on the board. The GM has
more and better patterns. He sees the better moves earlier. Not because he
is faster, but because he looks less at bad moves.

P.S.: De Groots books are awfull to read. He is strongly influenced by
German authors. There is in the German scientific literature a tradition to
express everything as complicated as possible. The infamous "Schachtelsätze"
(multi-clause-sentence). De Groot is a Dutch who writes in this special kind
of German using English
words.
