thanks for sharing this study. i think it’s fascinating that the researchers used manga.

there is also something to be said about using a single function device , as opposed to one w a multiple/endless possibilities.

Interested in this, as I was tangled in a discussion about digital vs. paper reading. It seems that it favors my personal bias for paper.

Really interesting article. There are also parallels between reading and writing on paper vs digital interfaces.

I wrote about how our brain responds differently to writing on paper vs typing and even writing on tablets here: https://howtobeastudent.substack.com/p/your-brain-on-ink?r=5217fn&utm_medium=ios

Thank you Anna. Loved reading your article - I'm fascinated by handwriting vs digital. There's a growing body of research looking at embodied cognition (I used to be sceptical but I'm coming round to now as the research grows).
