Taking notes on laptops improves reading comprehension.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that taking notes on laptops improves reading comprehension?

Partly. Several small studies report that Cornell-style note-taking is associated with improved reading comprehension, but none specifies that notes were taken on laptops. A meta-analysis of 24 studies found handwritten notes produced higher achievement than typed notes, though it measured course achievement rather than reading comprehension.
