My colleague Renee, together with @lakens wrote an interesting review of this effect, and actually use a cognitive load model to explain contradictory effects.https://psyarxiv.com/ty4nq/
The study showing handwritten notes are superior to typed notes fails to replicatehttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10648-019-09468-2 …

I like the brief comment in the abstract that "Group differences were further decreased after students studied their notes"
-
yeah, that seems to be the most important part; having something legible that you can actually go back to and study.
-
But if they never do anyway, then handwriting is the better choice.
-
Idk, if you plan on never looking at the notes again then don't bother. At that point, you might as well close the notebook and focus your energy on paying attention to and memorizing the lecture.
-
Wrong. Writing it is a powerful way of helping the brain remember, as it forces us to pay attention. Ofc it's better to look at the notes afterwards, but sometimes life happens.
-
The whole point of the paper is that there is no statistically significant difference between note taking by hand, on computer, or not at all.

In fact, the initial study's methodology assumes that note-taking is a skill that can't be taught or learned. If you assume it CAN be taught/learned, then its findings suggest that typewritten notes will be better. https://www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/now-even-the-new-york-times-has-it-wrong/ …

Raises the issue of the deaf. We can either hear (watch the speaker) or write, we can’t do both. Having a note taker doesn’t help as much as people think either.

Note taking in any form is inferior to retrieval, which is shown to have significant effects on retention and recall. Is this whole note taking/reading thing (much beloved of Uni study guides) a red herring? Go for free text input and AI to interpret https://bit.ly/2GmdL92

I’ll make a note of that.

Thank you for sharing, this is useful and important for students to know. Whichever one is the most automatic is likely to be the one that "sticks" less. "Using" notes after making them is what will make it "stick".

Or using a more efficient medium than handwriting: I can barely read my own writing.
