The study's questionable, and at the very least not universally generalizable. My handwriting is so bad notes are pointless typically, and I avoid hand writing anything so far as possible since writing is painful as well as pointless. I do not learn better taking written notes, I've tested this, personally I've tried it a few times and always found hand writing notes actually hinders my learning - I associate the subject with needless pain and busy-work. I have spent time working out how to most effectively learn news things. Associating the learning with something you enjoy is critical, I hate physical writing, it can only hinder learning for me.
