🔴 🖋 ⌨️ **Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread brain connectivity: a high-density EEG study with implications for the classroom**
_“Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity. It appears that the movements related to typewriting do not activate these connectivity networks the same way that handwriting does.”_

So many questions...
Does handwriting with a stylus on a tablet lead to the same results as pen and paper?
Answer in the study: digital pens were used. I'm assuming they mean the same thing as what I mean by stylus.
Were the subjects who were typing touch typists? What speed can they type at? 10 fi gers vs 2 fingers?
From the article '_The participants used a digital pen to write in cursive by hand directly on the touchscreen, and a keyboard to typewrite the presented words._'
