You’ll Absorb More if You Take Notes in Longhand

College students who take notes on laptop computers are more likely to record lecturers’ words verbatim and are thus less likely to mentally absorb what’s being said, according to a series of experiments by Pam A. Mueller of Princeton and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of UCLA. In one study, laptop-using students recorded 65% more of lectures verbatim than did those who used longhand; a half-hour later, the laptop users performed significantly worse on conceptual questions such as “How do Japan and Sweden differ in their approaches to equality within their societies?” Longhand note takers learn by reframing lecturers’ ideas in their own words, the researchers say.

IK4-IDEKO ha desarrollado un dispositivo capaz de medir las vibraciones que se producen en las estructuras flexibles.

Controlar las vibraciones que se producen en una máquina es uno de los grandes retos del sector de la máquina herramienta. Cuanto más intensas son las vibraciones, menores son la precisión y la agilidad de las máquinas, y más tiempo necesitan para realizar su tarea.

El objetivo de este dispositivo es reducir las vibraciones que se producen en las estructuras flexibles cuando se someten a desplazamientos o perturbaciones.
