Printed versus handwriting: scientists have figured out what's best for the human brain
A new study by scientists has made it possible to understand to what extent the procedure for creating printed and written text affects the brain. But the results are mixed.
The subject of the study was the brain activity during drawing, typing and handwriting. The subjects were children and young people up to 30 years old. The tests were carried out taking into account age indicators, as well as the type of occupation in the case of adults.
In the course of the study, scientists found that while writing with a stylus on the touch screen, the brain shows sufficient activity. Thus, it affects his learning ability. When typing, its level decreases. This is especially true of the areas of the brain that are responsible for memory and encoding new information.
The researchers concluded that for integrated development, all methods of information visualization should be used - handwriting, typed text and drawing. This is especially true of the child's brain, which receives a lot of data from the outside and in large quantities.
