Taking Notes by Hand

#. Taking Notes by Hand

 

When you study, it is important to take good notes.

Many students use their computers for this task.

However, it may be better to take notes the old-fashioned way.

Several years ago, researchers at Princeton University did a study with university students.

These students took notes while listening to a lecture.

One group of students wrote their notes by hand.

The students in the second group typed their notes on a laptop computer.

The researchers found some interesting differences between the two groups.

The students who used computers took detailed notes.

They copied almost everything they heard.

Meanwhile, the students who used a pen or pencil notes at a slower pace.

This meant they could not write everything down.

Instead, they had to summarize and choose their information more.

After the lecture, the researchers quizzed the students on the lecture.

Interestingly, both groups remembered facts and names well.

Then, they were asked more complicated questions.

here, the students who wrote notes by hand did much better.

In other words, they had a deeper understanding of the content.
