CSV files and R script: writing process data of typed picture description by 15 cognitively impaired patients and 15 healthy controls

"Writing process data of 15 cognitively impaired patients and 15 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were obtained. Each of them completed two typed picture description tasks that were logged with Inputlog, a keystroke logging tool. Variables included time on task; number of characters, pauses and Pause-bursts per minute; proportion of pause time; duration of Pause-bursts; and pause time between words. For pause time between words, also the effect of pauses preceeding specific word categories was analyzed.
The data were used to explore if the observation of writing behavior can assist in the screening and follow-up of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This data set contains the CSV files that were used for the analyses and the corresponding R script."
