"Computer keystroke logging is an exciting development in writing research methodology that allows a document's evolution to be logged and then replayed as if the document were being written for the first time. Computer keystroke logged data allows analysis of the revisions and pauses made by authors during the writing of texts. Computer Keystroke Logging and Writing: Methods and Applications is the first book to collect the work of leading computer keystroke logging researchers into a single volume and provide an invaluable introduction and overview of this dynamic area of research. As well as providing an introduction to the technique of keystroke logging, this volume offers the reader unfamiliar with writing research an overview of the field. In the core of the methods section, leading researchers demonstrate how keystroke logging can be used to analyze the writing process phenomena of the pause, the writing unit and the revision unit. These phenomena are illustrated with data from current keystroke logging research projects. The final section of the book explores a range of application possibilities for computer keystroke logging. These include studying how translators approach their work, examining theoretical proposals and models, and supporting learning."--P. [4] of cover.
