Student light-rail proposals win award A collaborative light-rail master plan involving close to 50 architecture students from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the University of Arkansas has won a national Education Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. The award, one of only three given this year, will be presented in May during the AIA National Convention in San Antonio. Tasks lost in tangles of our memory Discussions of memory lapses often focus on a failure to recall past events, but equally important to our daily lives is a form of memory that helps us remember to do something in the future — drop a child at daycare, go to the dentist or pick up bread on the way home. "Memory is fallible, even for tasks that are very important," suggests Mark A. McDaniel, Ph.D., professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences, co-author of a new book exploring how the brain processes memories critical to forward-looking activities. | |
