In a 2014 study, researchers found that the use of laptops to take notes may be “harming academic performance.”
According to the psychologists who conducted the study, college students who had written their notes in longhand were more successful in answering conceptual questions about the material than students who had taken their notes with a laptop.
According to the study’s authors, Pam A. Mueller of Princeton and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of UCLA, using a laptop to take notes “results in shallower processing”.
The research was published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association of Psychological Science.
