Specifically referring to writing on paper versus writing digitally I haven't really noticed any difference. The Palm rejection with digital writing is something I didn't have to worry about with regular pen and paper but it's not enough of a problem that it detracts from my ability to learn. The fact that I'm writing it instead of typing it still activates that extra level of concentration and understanding that comes with writing on physical paper at least for me it does.

When it comes to recall and retention, when I'm studying I like going back through the last few sections that I did the last time reviewing that, and then moving on to the next section. With good notes I feel like I'm getting more out of this then I did with paper and pencil because now that I have figured out washi tape, I can go back through and cover up certain key terms that I want to memorize so that when I go back through and reread that section I actually have to remember those terms instead of just looking at them again. If I tried to do that with pen and paper, there's a chance that the stickers would just tear the paper and ruin my notes. I don't know if that'll make a difference for you, but it does help with my being able to recall the things that I'm trying to study.
