Of course it's not, but there was no small number of people citing the one study that suggested it was. But what does matter is the practice of taking notes. "It would seem that writing notes in your own words, and studying your notes, matter more than the methods used to write your notes." I would imagine simply taking notes will be effective to some degree, but of course stimulating the same thoughts you had when you took the notes will be effective. And - here I speculate - I would imagine they would be even more effective in a context where reference to the note is being used to complete a task or solve a problem. Anyhow, having written some 35,000 notes on this web page alone I can attest to their utility.
