For the record, neurodivergent people are almost always excluded by research such as the ones mentioned. I claim that for people with dyslexia hangwriting is almost always worse than typing.
I’ve often wondered if I had some mild dyslexia, for the longest time I’d mix up b, p, q, and d… but never diagnosed or anything (so I’m definitely not going to try and use myself as a counterexample or anything like that). Massive caveats aside, I find writing in cursive really helps me focus, I wonder if any folks with real dyslexia have done any experiments there. Maybe the better differentiation between the letters could help?
oh c'mon
but seriously they'd have to screen people to exclude neurodivergent people or make it so they never sign up; my guess is that the latter is really how most of research in this field works, they just ask the students to participate, eleven or so sign up and voila, publication!
Spellchecking on Android is a disaster.
In my university I often see students and researchers who explicitly ask for test subjects who do not have a mental health diagnosis, dyslexia, etc.
