This suggests to me that the process of drawing extends the time that's spent encoding the new memory. Perhaps that time emphasizes multiple features of the object, and demands more focus, thus adding multiple 'hooks' to make recall of the object more fault tolerant. If so, any approach to learning which demands more focus and adds multiple hooks might see the same gains.
Maybe the authors made the same point, but because the full article is locked away from unpaying eyes, I'll never know.
