My experience is the same but opposite. I have probably 200 notebooks filled that I never needed to reference because writing them by hand made me memorize their contents. I could never replicate the phenomenon with typing.

I am very similar. The act of writing it down somehow wires it into my brain such that I won’t forget it.

Which brings me to the idea, that mandatory handwriting could a more efficient indoctrination tool than typewriting.
