Here’s a NYT piece which, if I remember correctly, first triggered interest (two years ago): https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/03/science/whats-lost-as-handwriting-fades.html?_r=0

Here’s a summary of one of the studies which I believe started to generate at least a segment of opinion which favours handwriting, especially in the young: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/were-only-human/ink-on-paper-some-notes-on-note-taking.html#.WSWd3zPlTMU

And here’s a recent journalistic update: http://mentalfloss.com/article/33508/4-benefits-writing-hand.

None of it conclusive, of course. And N.B. I’m not an academic. But, as I say, suggestive.
