> degradation in motor skills
If writing was so important for motor skills then it is very weird that kids only needs this single exercise.
Why don't we have many different things to do with hands then?
Like gym lessions which teaches many different sports/exercises instead of doing many years of the same exercise.
Nothing in the study accounts for other factors. I played a number of musical instruments growing up, and if I had ignored handwriting, I'm fairly sure I would still have better than average fine motor control.
