At the recent Mid-South Regional Conference for Psychology in the Schools, Jessica Kotik and Brooke Killion, students left to right of the poster in the photo, presented on a study completed that examined the differences between typed and handwritten writing performance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students in a rural school who had computer access at school, but not at home produced significantly more handwritten words than typed, while students in a suburban school who had computer access at school and at home produced significantly more when typing. Typing speed and typed writing quality revealed a strong positive relationship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other results and implications are outlined in the linked poster. For other information about the study please contact either Brooke Killion (jkillio1@vols.utk.edu<\/a>) or her faculty advisor, Dr. Merilee McCurdy (mccurdy2@utk.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n
