Yet another study comparing handwriting with one handed typing. Actually worse than that - they didn't even display the letters typed.
Even if that were somehow ok, they should have seen greater visual engagement for hunt and peck one finger typing (exclusively right index finger).
No mention in their methodology if they allowed students to practice the one word they gave them to write five times either, which further pollutes the data.
Bottom line - poorly designed study produces predictable results and researchers use that soapbox to suggest educational policy.
