Imagine the situation that If you were in class. You look a teacher in front of the class and take a note using laptop or notebook. What kind of method will be better when it comes to retention? In 2014, Pam A. Mueller tested hypothesis that the notebook with pen is better than the labtop and the result supported Mueller’s hypothesis. However, according to Morehead replication, this result hadn’t shown. Moreover other replication study also concludes that their “results do not support the idea that longhand note taking” is better than typing.
John Dunlosky who was also one of the authors of Morehead study said that whether you choose a pen or typing isn’t important. The more important point is that prepare less distracted learning environment and relearn the material that you learned on a regular basis.[1]
