Datasets and R script - Writing process data of typed intransitive, monotransitive and ditransitive sentences of 90 elderly

Writing process data of 90 healthy elderly (50 - 90 years) were obtained. Each of them completed a typed sentence production task that consisted of 40 trials. Time on task, production time, and pause times before sentences, between words and within words were logged with a keystroke logging tool (ScriptLog). The data were used to examine the influences of normal ageing and verb transitivity on sentence production. The underlying aim was to provide a foundation for further research on sentence production in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This dataset contains the data that remained after eliminating the first trial of each participant and the trials during which participants did not use the correct target sentence structure (intransitive, monotransitive, ditransitive) or made revisions. The R script that was used for the analyses is also available. The paper is currently under review. The data will be available as soon as it is accepted for publication.
