Memory Adventure: From Learning to Forgetting Imagine Alex is preparing for a school science fair. Storing Memories (2.5) Alex studies a science experiment. The semantic memory (facts and knowledge, like “water boils at 100°C”) is stored in the brain, while episodic memory (personal experiences, like “I mixed vinegar and baking soda yesterday”) records the event. The hippocampus (the brain’s “save button”) helps transfer these memories into long-term memory. During sleep, memory consolidation (making memories stable and long-lasting) happens, and Alex vividly remembers the fun surprise when the mixture fizzes—a flashbulb memory (emotionally strong, vivid memory). Alex also learns the skill of carefully pouring liquids, a procedural memory stored in the basal ganglia, and how to react when the mixture splashes, a conditioned response stored in the cerebellum. Emotions make the memory even stronger, thanks to the amygdala. Retrieving Memories (2.6) The next day, Alex goes to the science fair. Seeing the experiment table triggers priming (unconscious memory activation—seeing the table makes Alex remember steps). Being in the same classroom helps context-dependent memory (better recall in the same place as learning). Alex is also in the same excited mood as while practicing, so mood-congruent memory helps remember details of the experiment. When listing the steps, Alex remembers the first step clearly and the last step best, thanks to the serial position effect. Using strategies like quizzing himself earlier (testing effect) and spacing study sessions (spacing effect) improves retrieval. Forgetting & Memory Errors (2.7) During the fair, Alex tries to remember an old trick learned last year, but some details are fuzzy. This is retroactive interference (new memories block old ones). At the same time, old steps from last year sometimes confuse him, an example of proactive interference (old memories block new info). Alex’s friend jokingly says he added glitter to the experiment last week. Alex later misremembers seeing glitter—this is the misinformation effect. He even forgets where he first learned the correct steps, a case of source amnesia, and feels a strange sense of déjà vu when looking at a similar experiment table. Unfortunately, Alex’s cousin has anterograde amnesia (cannot form new memories) and can only remember things from before last year, while his neighbor has retrograde amnesia (loses past memories) and cannot recall last week’s fair prep. Luckily, Alex’s strong study habits, sleep, and emotional engagement helped protect his memories from being forgotten too quickly.

The Wells’ Criteria risk stratifies patients for pulmonary embolism (PE) and provides an estimated pre-test probability. The physician can then chose what further testing is required for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (I.E. d-dimer or CT angiogram).

Mission To prepare our students for a lifetime of endless potential. We accomplish this by: Preparing students for university transfer through academically rigorous programs grounded in the liberal arts tradition of William & Mary Expanding access to college credentials through strategic partnerships, specialized programming, and scalable innovation. Values A Friendly Family Atmosphere It is a constant theme that emanated from faculty, staff, and students. It is the comfort, the warmth, the family feeling that permeates the campus. An expansive atmosphere of support that allows all members of the college to uncover and act on their inherent potential. The atmosphere is valued, and it is embedded at the very core of the college. Enthusiastic Student Focused Service Ask any faculty of staff member at RBC why they come to work on any given day, and a single answer will resound: STUDENTS. We value that our mission centers on the success of our student body, and we endeavor to provide service of the highest quality to support their journey to success. Processes and proceeded are built, assessed, and improved in the name of the student, and we agree that nurturing that potential is our sole purpose. The Power of Difference Difference comes in many forms: the diversity of our campus population; the myriad ways that problems can be solved and risks mitigated; the various methods in which students learn and can be supported; the entrepreneurial spirit and nimbleness of faculty and staff. RBC continually stives to build an inclusive and welcoming community of individuals with diverse talents and skills from multitude of backgrounds who are committed to civility, mutual respect, and the free and open exchange of ideas. We value these differences because each new exchange expands out collective breadth of experience and knowledge and makes us stronger and better than we were. Building Confidence The dramatic transformation that occurs in students between Welcome Week and Commencement is incremental but astounding. Students move from the general idea of college education to fully formulated plans that include academic majors, professional goals, and transfer programs that strategically align their skills and dreams. Faculty and staff grow personally and professionally, and they hit stride on their career goals as they interact and engage with the campus. We value that RBC is a place where every individual can assist another human being in reaching the next stage of their life and career with newly discovered confidence or cultivate their own individual potential and fortitude. Quality Outcomes In the end the result matter and the faculty, staff and students of RBC value that we do our best to be the best. Through rigorous processes of assessment and adjustment, strategic change is continuously pursued to ensure that every outcome is of the highest quality, and that every initiative uses the efforts and resources of the College responsibly and efficiently. Vision As an extension of William & Mary, Richard Bland College is in the vanguard of learning-outcomes based liberal arts education for university transfer and a model for testing and applying outcomes-driven solutions in higher education.
