The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes
30、 that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard, her new findings show. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.
31、 The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more hooks to hang your memories on，” she explains.Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of the shape of each letter. We also n
