Abstract In this digital age, many people are reading on screens and studying on screens. I much prefer reading a paper book, and I seem to remember more, and I was curious if retention was different in reading on paper vs reading on a screen. This led to my hypothesis: Retention will be greater when reading from paper, because more of your brain is engaged.
