About this listen
This Frontiers in Psychology research article delves into the neurological differences between handwriting and typing. Using high-density EEG, researchers analyzed brain connectivity in university students performing both tasks. The results revealed that handwriting significantly enhances brain connectivity, particularly in theta and alpha frequency bands, which are critical for learning and memory.
This enhanced connectivity is attributed to the precise motor control involved in handwriting, promoting superior learning outcomes compared to typing. The study advocates for integrating handwriting practices into education, emphasizing its role in enhancing cognitive development alongside the rise of digital literacy.
