Is it true that handwriting improves brain function more than typing does?
Unclear. A 2025 review reports that handwriting activates a broader network of brain regions than typing, which engages fewer neural circuits, and another source notes researchers hypothesize handwriting may confer long-term brain benefits. These sources support only a partial, hedged version of the claim, and none directly measures handwriting improving brain function more than typing.
