Anecdotally: I've been taking notes by hand recently after years of taking notes via text file. My personal experience has been a noticeable increase in retention and reduced need to go back to the notes I've taken and refresh my memory. I believe there is some unknown process that leads to improves memorization in the act of writing things down by hand.

It isn't exactly 'unknown' - every teacher I've ever met has said 'if you write it down you'll remember it better' and Tom Clancy made 'if you didn't write it down, it didn't happen' a major plot point in one of his novels. Perhaps 'unexplained' would be a better word.
