Writing And Memory

Writing can help improve memory by creating deeper connections with the material at the neurological level. Research has shown that writing by hand correlates with a stronger memory than writing with an electronic or mechanical device.

In a 2014 study done by scientists Mangen and Verlay, it was demonstrated that the sensory-motor activity of writing by hand relays information back to the brain, which assists in information recall.

It may therefore be helpful to incorporate handwriting into tasks in order to improve memory.
