Normative data for email writing

This data set includes emails from forty two healthy control participants ranging from 16 to 88 years of age (mean = 45.64) and 9 to 24 years of education (mean = 13.36). Three emails were produced by each participant, each within a time limit of three minutes. Emails were anonymised by replacing names, addresses and professions with different names, addresses and professions consisting of the same number of letters. Otherwise, the emails appear exactly as they were written, with no changes to layout, spaces, words, letter case or punctuation. It is expected that this normative data will be useful to clinicians and researchers working with adults with acquired language disorders in assessing email writing.

本数据集涵盖42名健康对照参与者的电子邮件样本，参与者年龄跨度为16至88岁（平均年龄45.64岁），受教育年限为9至24年（平均受教育年限13.36年）。每名参与者需撰写3封电子邮件，单封邮件的撰写时限为3分钟。所有邮件已完成匿名化处理：将姓名、住址与职业替换为字母数量一致的其他姓名、住址及职业。除此之外，邮件完全保留原始撰写状态，未对排版、空格、词汇、字母大小写或标点符号作出任何修改。该标准化数据集预计可助力成人获得性语言障碍领域的临床医生与研究者开展电子邮件写作能力评估工作。
