Students who use pen and paper score 28% higher than those using digital tools. This is attributed to how the brain stores knowledge as a graph of interconnected concepts rather than linearly, and handwriting engages the brain to absorb information rather than merely record it.

students get 28% higher score simply for using pen and paper. it’s crazy. knowledge is not stored linearly in your brain, but as a graph of interconnected concepts. handwriting is more intuitive and engages your brain to absorb information than record it.

it just works.
