Why does focused note-taking increase achievement? Percent Retention of Material This slide illustrates that retention of material is higher when students use the focused note-taking process. Thus while most note-taking research continues to measure the impact of note-taking on recall as measured by tests, there is increasing emphasis on cognitive analyses that may have more explicit instructional implications in the near future Elapsed Days handout 3a-b
