Mahjong players need to be able to recognize and distinguish the symbols on every single tile, even though they may not be familiar with them. This triggers the development and improvement of mental pattern recognition skills. The more they play, the quicker players can identify the different tile symbols and match them easily. However, this does not mean that they are able to describe each symbol in detail. Only that the brain becomes able to identify general patterns more quickly.
