Mueller, Researcher at Princeton University and Oppenheimer, University of California had half a university class take notes by hand watching a video lecture and half the class take notes on laptops.
When it came to basic data and facts, there was no difference. The students scored the same but when it came to conceptual application in which they had to do mental prioritization and different levels of processing, the quality of the handwritten notes far exceeded the ones typed.
