The document discusses several studies that have examined differences in how people comprehend and recall information presented in digital versus print formats. Some key findings include: high school students recalled more information from print texts on politics, science, and the economy, while college students showed no format preferences; people switching between print and digital recalled less than those staying in one format; and a 2013 study found people made different types of errors depending on format, with digital texts leading to more memory-based errors and print more comprehension-based errors. Overall, the document reviews over a decade of research comparing reading comprehension and memory of print versus digital texts.
