Which
is better, writing or typing(打字)? These days, many college students
have given up taking class notes by hand., they type on laptops because they
think typing is fast, and they can type (many) notes, But research
has shown that taking notes by hand is in fact better for long term memory.
In
the research, students were asked to listen a teacher. Some took notes by typing on a laptop.
The (other) took notes by writing them down. Then
they were given a test. Both groups got almost the same result in (remember) the facts. But students who typed their
notes did worse on conceptual (概念的) questions.
Why
is it like this? The answer is that writing by hand is slow, but it gives the
students more time (think) about the questions they don't understand.
They are to write down the main points. "This leads
to a deeper understanding," say the scientists.
However,
the students typing notes on a laptop (usual) just write down what
the teacher says word for word in class. Although they can write more notes, they
just type without really(think)
about what they are typing. "This usually leads to mindless transcription
(抄
录),"say the
scientists.
So if
you want to remember something(well),
write it by hand!
