It’s a fact: Most students can type faster than they can write. So it’s only logical that typing notes on a laptop would be better when listening to a fast-paced lecture or presentation than laboriously writing them on a yellow legal pad, right? Well,(23)it may be logical, but it turns out to be wrong. In a recent series of studies, psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer compared the performance of students who were asked to write out their notes on paper or to type them on a laptop. The results were stunning: Consistently across all measures, those who wrote out their notes longhand outperformed those who typed them on their laptops. In all cases, students who used laptops took more notes, but their notes were essentially rote transcriptions of the lectures. The information seemed to go from the lecturer to the computer with the student serving as a go-between rather than a learner.(24)In contrast, the notes taken by those writing longhand showed stronger conceptual understanding. Even more surprising, when students were allowed to study their notes before a test a week later, those whose notes were in longhand scored higher across the board. Why is the difference?(25)Mueller and Oppenheimer attribute the results to the differences in the types of cognitive processing that are triggered by slow writing and rapid typing. Because writing by hand is slower, students can’t possibly write down everything they hear. So they take the time to carefully listen, digest, and summarize the material in real time during the lecture. They learn while they listen. Because typing is rapid, students focus on simply getting all the words on paper without actually thinking about what they are typing.
23. What is the purpose of the study?
24. What can we learn about the two types of note-taking?
25. What leads to the difference between the results of the two types of note-taking?

选项 A、Note-taking on paper is better for conceptual understanding.
B、Note-taking on paper enables students to write everything.
C、Note-taking on a laptop helps more in test preparation.
D、There’s no evidence to show which one is better.

答案 A

解析 事实细节题。本题问的是关于两种记笔记方法的信息。短文中提到,对于那些用笔记本电脑记笔记的学生来说,信息是从演讲者转到电脑,学生只是作为一个中介,而不是一个学习者,相反,那些进行普通书写的学生却显示出更强的概念理解能力。所以说在纸上记笔记更有利于概念理解。
