That's not what most of the studies I've seen say. I can't remember the specifics (since I didn't write them down by hand) but IIRC the differentiating factor was whether you hand wrote your notes, not how you organized them. In other words the literal act of jotting it down is the source of the benefit.
That said, these psychology studies are pretty useless most of the time.

I'd have to read some studies to opine. > That said, these psychology studies are pretty useless most of the time. There is a definite reproducibility issue but we don't need to bin the work of a whole academic category.
