In a study of a lecture class, students who took notes remembered no more content than the students who didn\u2019t take notes; the act of taking notes did not increase the amount of what they remembered. But the students who took notes remembered more key facts, those who merely listened remembered more or less random content from the lecture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Note taking isn\u2019t the only way to help the brain recall important stuff. Other kinds of writing, such as scrawling ideas on a whiteboard or pencilling a reminder on a calendar, create a link between the spatial and verbal parts of our brains and strengthen how important information is stored in our brains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Excerpt: When we take notes during a lecture, however, something amazing happens.
