35、write things by hand. However, many studies have shownthat this act has many benets.New brain research, led by researchers at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, proves the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.When you write your shopping
36、 list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember the content ( 内容 ) better afterwards, said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.The study used some equipment to record brain wave ( 波 ) activity. The participants ( 参与者 ) included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the rst time that chil
37、dren have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing ahood ( 风帽 ) with over 250 electrodes ( 电极 ). The sensors ( 传感器 ) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examinat
38、ion took 45minutes per person.The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the
39、sound made while writing. These sense experiences build touch between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. Learning to write
40、by hand is a bit slower process, but its important for children to go through the tiring phrase of learning to write by hand, she said.The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are benecial in several ways. If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand
41、 requires control of your ne motor ( 精细动作 ) skills and senses. Its important to put the brain in a learning state asoften as possible, Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay,but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.31. What do we know about the study?A.
42、 The study involved 250 participants altogether.B. Typing on a keyboard helps you remember a lot of things.C. All the participants have to take a 45 minutes examination.D.
