I've been learning Chinese and this maps startlingly onto my experience w 漢字. My hypothesis has been that it's related to the same neurological phenomenon that makes the memory palace effective, aka memory is spatial and moving the hand is enough to trigger it https://x.com/prmshra/status/1862532036394983596?t=-2S2nmKPANzHcrDrdF3JKA&s=19

Not sure where you’re at with your Chinese studies, but do you use character tracing notebooks to help with writing?

I wonder if the e-ink tablet like Remarkable are fully triggering the same handwriting effect. It's been on my list for years.

Made me curious whether there would be any correlation between left-handedness and adhd (being left handed sucks, and personally made me hate writing). Sure enough: https://search.arc.net/wxJkLyQTCcPghDcRwUZj Almost 3 times as likely to be adhd… “Left-handers may have decreased interhemispheric connections, affecting cognitive functions.” While it’s surely not causative, I wonder how the cognitive effects of not writing a lot might affect or even exacerbate the experience of adhd.
