Abstract
Researchers investigating the advantages of long-hand note-taking over laptop note-taking suggest an encoding hypothesis -subjects taking longhand notes process information in a way that benefits memory. Because laptop users tend to take verbatim notes, this processing does not occur. The present research supports this phenomenon in a youth population.
