Writing vs Typing

 Researchers have been at it again, this time the focus was handwritten (both cursive and printed) work is actually better than typing. Okay I'm betting there are those of you making disclaimers about your handwriting being so bad there is no way it could be better but you'd be wrong. The part of the brain that it takes to coordinate your fingers into making the different letters and holding the writing implement is also associated with the learning part of your brain, so as you write you remember what you're writing where with typing you would probably be able to record an entire lecture word for word but not remember any of it when you were done. I know this is true for me but never knew why until the good ol' researchers presented their findings.
