There’s research to suggest your point but anecdotally my typing and general document editor skills basically always far exceeded my handwriting skills and the exact moment I could use a laptop to do notes my grades shot up immensely. I think it might just be processing info from auditory or visual into words. I.e., people would learn the same amount doing the same amount of notes on a computer but are just incapable of doing that. Either because they type slow or, if they type fast, they get stuck for 45 seconds on some formatting, bringing the average WPM way down and also making them lose the focus in a way that doesn’t really exist in handwriting. Or they just get distracted by browsing Amazon during a boring lecture.
