As per study of the University of Waterloo in Canada which found that if you compare on drawing and writing out words repeatedly, drawing was the more effective technique for the same.
For the study, researchers presented student participants with a list of simple words like "apple" and were given 40 seconds to either draw the word or write it out repeatedly.
We discovered a significant recall advantage for words that were drawn as compared to those that were written," said study lead author Jeffrey Wammes.
"We labelled this benefit ‘the drawing effect,' which refers to this distinct advantage of drawing words relative to writing them out.
The quality of the drawings made no difference.
The findings were published in "Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology."
