The use of test instruments in forensic report writing : explorative research in Flanders Ghent University
Background: Forensic psychiatric reports have a profound impact on the life of a defendant, on society and on the mental health system. Good-quality reports are essential but are often criticized for their lack of thorough substantiation. The use of multiple methods to obtain information, test instruments (psychological and/or risk) and third-party information are recommended. Study purpose: To explore the use of test instruments and third-party ...
Debunking the ‘Nerd’ Myth. Doing Action Research with First-year Engineering Students in the Academic Writing Class KU Leuven
First-year engineering students are disinclined to view writing skills, and communication skills at large, as a core element of the engineering curriculum. Instead of arguing away this student skepticism, we aimed to harness it by way of an action research project in the writing class. Students were challenged to find out for themselves whether, and if so, which communication skills are important for professional engineers, and to write out ...
Measuring and assessing typing skills in writing research University of Antwerp
In keyboard writing, typing skills are considered an important prerequisite of proficient text production. We describe the design, implementation, and application of a standardized copy-typing task in order to measure and assess individual typing fluency. A test-retest analysis indicates the instrument's reliability. While the task has been developed across eleven different languages and the related keyboard layouts, we here refer to a corpus of ...
Designing keystroke logging research in writing studies University of Antwerp
As typing has become more and more our preferred way of text production, keystroke logging has become one of the major observation tools used in writing process research. It allows for fine grained data collection without intruding into the writers’ activities or influencing the writing dynamics. This article describes how keystroke logging — more specifically Inputlog — can be used in writing process research. We elucidate the research flow, ...

Keystroke logging in writing research University of Antwerp
Keystroke logging has become instrumental in identifying writing strategies and understanding cognitive processes. Recent technological advances have refined logging efficiency and analytical outputs. While keystroke logging allows for ecological data collection, it is often difficult to connect the fine grain of logging data to the underlying cognitive processes. Multiple methodologies are useful to offset these difficulties. In this article we ...
