Abstract

In the presented study, it was tested how the writing technique influences the quality of remembering. A comparative analysis of groups handwriting and writing on a computer keyboard was carried out.
In the survey participated 68 people, mainly bank employees participating in corporate training. The semantic memory of the respondents was tested with the recorded text, taking into account the time needed to code the information. The advantage of handwriting over computer techniques was assumed. The level of remembered information was checked with a knowledge test.
