“…Jurors are unsure what information is important Structured note-taking guide for jurors 1 These studies are now several years old, and it is likely that an even higher percentage of students carry laptops, though some may have replaced them with tablets.…”

“…Researchers at UCIrvine report that only 29% of students bring their laptop to class every day [13]. 1 At this point, students seem to be ambivalent about note-taking on laptops. They tend to believe that their ability to take more notes quickly on a laptop is an asset, rather than a liability, noting that efficiency is the biggest advantage of laptops [14].…”

“…Experimental research on note-taking has a long history [1]; for overviews, see Kiewra, Kobayashi [2,3]. While there is a great deal of nuance and complexity in the literature, one consistent theme is that note taking is not easy.…”

“…Even with student populations, the .experimental evidence is not without confusion. An early work (Crawford, 1925) showed that note takers had higher immediate and long-term recall scores than non-note takers . A recent work (Howe, 1970) reported that the probability of recalling an item that occurred in the learner's notes was about seven times that of items not in the notes.…”

Employment interviewers (N = 102) and managers (N = 128) viewed a videotaped interview of an MBA applicant for a management position. Participants were assigned to the cells of a 2 by 2 by 2 factorial design with two levels of participants (interviewer, manager), two levels of concurrent note taking (required, forbidden) , and two levels of interruption early in the interview (interrupted, control). The dependent variables were the score on a 25·item listening accuracy test based on the transcript of the interview, and the overall suitability evaluation of the applicant by the professionals. Results indicated no significant difference between participant groups and no significant effects on overall suitability judgments. Both the interruption and note taking had a significant impact on listening accuracy. The highest rate of accuracy (79%)was for the required note taking and no-interruption condition.Little is known about the accuracy of the information interviewers use when making overall suitability judgments. One recent study by Schuh (1978) showed that levels of accuracy range considerably even from a 12-min interview. Listening accuracy has been a neglected issue in interview research.Although the practice of note taking for study purposes by students is widespread, experimental evidence with respect to the efficacy of note taking for employment interviewers is not available. Even with student populations, the .experimental evidence is not without confusion. An early work (Crawford, 1925) showed that note takers had higher immediate and long-term recall scores than non-note takers . A recent work (Howe, 1970) reported that the probability of recalling an item that occurred in the learner's notes was about seven times that of items not in the notes. The results do not always favor the note taker, however. Ash and Carlton (1953) reported Significantly lower recall scores for note takers than for non-note takers during a ftlmpresentation. If there is an advantage in note taking, it is that the learners, in the process of taking the notes, "encode" the information by reorganizing the input data and putting it in their own words (Fisher & Harris, 1973), and the sensory motor process of recording the information also serves as an opportunity for rehearsal (Aiken, Thomas, & Shennum, 1975) .On the negative side, the process of note taking may interfere with memory . It has been known for quite some time that when no activity at all is demanded from a subject during a retention interval, very little forgetting occurs (Brown, 1958).

“…Research on notetaking can be dated back to almost a century ago (Crawford, 1925). Not until recently has it primarily been studied in the field of educational psychology (Kiewra, 1989;Kobayashi, 2005).…”

In this paper we report the results of a web-based survey that was aimed at improving our understanding of therapists' attitudes towards -and adoption of -technologies designed to support medical documentation. 310 valid responses from 28 countries were analysed. The PATCH scale was used to measure attitudes towards computers in healthcare. Significant differences in PATCH scores across the included countries were identified. 36% of the respondents used only paper for notetaking whereas 52% used both paper-and software-based approaches. Negative and positive experiences of employing the software tools were analysed together with the respondents' suggestions for enhancing those tools. Overall, clinicians' attitudes towards technology-supported notetaking were encouraging, although a number of technical issues remain to be solved. Notetaking. Paper. Affordances. Clinician.
