While most writing studies in a clinical context focus on examinations of the written product, in this Research Topic we would like to present research that focuses on the underlying writing process. For instance, the process of producing written texts by clients with aphasia or students with dyslexia.
This Research Topic aims to contribute to the field by focusing on the analysis of writing process observations of people with language, mental, cognitive or physical disorders. Data can be collected by using, for instance, keystroke logging, hand writing capturing, or screen- and video recordings (or a combination of those). By analysing process aspects like temporal patterns/pause behaviour and revision behaviour, we would like to bring together papers that illustrate the relation between the observed behaviour and the underlying cognitive processes in these specific contexts.
Papers can present quantitative (e.g., quasi experiments comparing healthy controls with matched patients with a certain disorder), or qualitative data analyses (e.g., case studies). These studies can either be based on experimental designs, or stem from more ethnographic oriented research.
We welcome papers that present qualitative or quantitative writing process analysis related to, for instance, the following topics:
Alzheimer and other dementia diagnoses
aphasia
autism-spectrum and other NPF disorders
deafness and hard of hearing
visual impairment
developmental language disorders
dyslexia
intellectual disorders
neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, Parkinson
stress-related disorders and burn-out
therapeutic writing
