I my research project 'Cognitive decline in healthy ageing: motoric, cognitive and linguistic aspects of sentence production' I explore how the writing processes of Alzheimer's patients differs from that of healthy elderly. For this I make use of a sentence production task (composed of images and verbs) that elicits a number of specific sentences. The underlying writing process is registered with ScriptLog, a keystroke logging tool that logs each keystroke.The ultimate goal is to create… Show more I my research project 'Cognitive decline in healthy ageing: motoric, cognitive and linguistic aspects of sentence production' I explore how the writing processes of Alzheimer's patients differs from that of healthy elderly. For this I make use of a sentence production task (composed of images and verbs) that elicits a number of specific sentences. The underlying writing process is registered with ScriptLog, a keystroke logging tool that logs each keystroke.The ultimate goal is to create a screening tool on the basis of writing processes that focuses on detecting language change in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. This way, we hope to ensure a faster and more accurate diagnosis of the disease.For this project I work with pictures we developed ourselves. This new picture database can be freely used by other researchers as well. You can visit our website (www.olpd.eu) for more information. Show less
