I’ve found many more of these studies. Rather than posting each of them singly, here is the link to the list. I used the advanced search function on the site with “Gregg, and shorthand”. Here is what came of that:

What a treasure trove! Many hours of reading ahead of me.
A study of shorthand in the school curriculum, 1995, in North Carolina.

There are several studies in the file. The study on shorthand is the first.
I found this interesting, even though the frame of reference for the study limited its scope.
