Question

Teachers are sometimes asked to put their classroom lecture notes online for students to view later. According to Sparrow et al., why might this result in decreased memory for the material?

Answer 1

Answer:

writing is better

Explanation:

There has been plenty of research on this. The human brain gains more information if the notes are written down compared to reading on a screen due to the brain being more active (cognitive) in the writing process. For example, people have a hard time reading a writing cursive due to the skill of having to think before you write and read VS a computer of where you just need to press the letters.

Hope this makes sense
