Handwriting Is Good For The Brain

If you ever wrote notes by hand for either college or high school, you might not be surprised to learn that handwriting is good for the brain. A Wall Street Journal article titled “How Handwriting Trains The Brain” cites research that shows how writing by hand engages the brain in learning. Taking notes by hand not only forces you to focus on a topic, it also helps you remember what is being learned, beyond the obvious point of having information available to you to study from later.
