How Writing By Hand May Make You Smarter And More Creative

  • In an era dominated by keyboards, it is easy to think handwriting is a skill of the past. But are we shortchanging our brains by abandoning this ability? Our guests this week explore the critical cognitive benefits of handwriting and discuss how the physical act of writing by hand significantly boosts literacy, memory retention, and idea generation.

    • Guests: 

    • Dr. Danny Oppenheimer, professor of decision sciences, Carnegie Mellon University
    • Dr. Virginia Wise Berninger, professor emerita, University of Washington

      • Host: Greg Johnson

      Producer: Libby Foster
