Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of different writing methods (handwriting on paper, handwriting with a digital pen, and typing on a keyboard) on learning and memory retention, using behavioral measurements and EEG to track brain activity during the process.
- Results show that participants familiar with digital pens had better memory retention (indicated by N400 priming effect) when using either handwriting method compared to typing, while those unfamiliar with digital pens benefited more from handwriting on paper.
- Overall, handwriting (whether on paper or digitally) led to a more positive mood during learning and improved word memorization compared to typing, suggesting that the kinetic aspects of writing contribute to better learning outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether there is a learning effect on brain activity after writing with an ink pen vs. a digital pen. Previous studies have reported the superiority of handwriting to typing in terms of learning performance, but differences between the use of an ink pen vs.
