>our findings can be taken as evidence that handwriting promotes learning.
I don't like the way this is written. I much prefer a more ambiguous wording like, "our finding indicate that handwriting promotes learning."
Because the way it's written in the article, it sounds like that's the definitive truth, which it usually isn't. Life isn't black or white, it's a shade of gray.
But it is a really interesting article, because that's something that I always wonder when taking notes and such. But since I like the feel of the pen touching paper. I've leaned more towards that way. I have even bought ReMarkable 2 tablet for that reason (I don't own it any more though, as I was always slightly afraid to write on, just because of how expensive the device was - when compared to non-digital alternatives).
>In the present study, participants only used their right index finger for typing to prevent undesired crossover effects between the two hemispheres.
To me, this seems like quite an important factor, I hope that further studies will take typing with both hands into consideration as well.
