Among 20 university students, writing with a glove showed no clear effect on immediate recall, while increased writing pressure reduced recall with about 85–88% probability
Limbu and Chounta used a 2x2 between-subjects design in which 20 right-handed German-native university students copied text on a WACOM tablet while touch sensitivity (glove use) and kinaesthetic intensity (increased writing pressure) were manipulated, measuring outcomes with a 10-item immediate recall test, dual-task reaction time, and NASA-TLX; Bayesian binomial regression showed about 85–88% probability that increased pressure reduced recall (Bayes factors 5.83 and 7.1, moderate evidence), glove use alone showed no clear effect, and Bayesian mediation analysis found no strong evidence that mental effort or perceived workload mediated these effects (all 95% credible intervals included zero).
