> "The question out there for parents and educators is why should our kids spend any time doing handwriting," says cognitive scientist Brenda Rapp from Johns Hopkins University. On one side, more data is better, whatever the subject is (42 volunteer subjects though, and at no point in the abstract it’s explained how they sampled them). One the other hand, it looks like yet another of these studies, that has a very clear agenda, with a very small sample, completely focused on a single issue. If at least it was adressing it directly and focused on kids at school, but here it’s still a small proxy supposed to represent a bigger trend.
