Handwriting – A Forgotten Language Skill? (2008, background): “Bourdin and Fayol (2002) demonstrated that even in adults, written production of text is still more cognitively costly than oral production.”
Handwriting: what do we know and what do we need to know? (2007, background): “…suggested that the influence of orthographicmotor integration declines with age (Berninger and Swanson, 1994), but there are suggestions that it continues to exert an influence on writing in secondary school pupils (e.g. Christensen and Jones, 2000) and even in adults (Bourdin and Fayol, 2002).”
Cognitive processes in writing during pause and execution periods (2009, methodology): “For example, Bourdin and Fayol (1994, 2002) showed that performance of adults decreased when they had to recall series of digits or to compose sentences using cursive capital letters, a rarely practised and hence effortful calligraphy.”
