Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how our existing knowledge (schemas) helps us predict events and remember experiences over time, specifically in the context of learning a new game.
- Participants improved their memory of game moves as they played and learned, with their memory benefiting from familiarity with typical game patterns.
- Eye tracking showed that better players made more predictive eye movements while watching the moves, suggesting that prediction enhances memory recall through the use of prior knowledge.
Background: The 1995 Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) guidelines stated that providers may only use the review of systems and past medical, family, social history in student documentation for billing purposes; therefore, many providers viewed the student documentation as an extraneous step and chose not to allow medical students to document patient visits. This workflow negatively affected medical student education in documentation skills. Although the negative impact on students' documentation skills is obvious, areas of deficits are unknown.

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of first-person video, captured via Google Glass™, to enhance feedback quality in medical student education.
Material And Methods: As a clerkship requirement, students asked patients and attending physicians to wear the Google Glass™ device to record patient encounters and patient presentations, respectively.
