I think this could be connected with different brain areas getting activated by just reading or by writing something down. For my own learning purposes, I noticed (for me) there is no difference whether I write the stuff down by hand or type it into a document, it's the additional time spent with writing down/rephrasing things/summarizing content which helps me to remember.
Others seem to remember stuff better if they listen to it, it seems there are several "brain configurations" for learning/remembering out there.
