    Anecdotally I took paper notes all through college because it allowed me to retain knowledge without studying.

    Same, though when I was studying for exams I found typing and retyping my notes to be exceedingly helpful. Not sure if it’s muscle memory or being part of the video game generation, but there’s just something between the hand/brain connection that really helped me out.

      I think that repetition in any form is exceedingly helpful. It probably does help to have neuronal wiring already primed for that type of routine.
