I suspect the background of the participants influenced the outcome of the study.

I wonder if the participants in the study spent more time hand writing or typing in their lives.

I also wonder if they spent more time engaged in deep though and learning while hand writing or while typing.

I spent far more time thinking and learning while typing. Therefore, my brain has wired itself to think and learn while typing.

There have been times when I was asked a difficult technical question, and had to make typing motions in the air and then check what I would have typed to be able to say the answer out loud.

It would be unfortunate for our society to study old people and misapply the results to young people.

I wonder if there are 3 groups in out society: The old learned by hand writing. The middle learned by typing. The young learned on touch screens.
