title: A keyboard data collecting device for behavioural recordings.
abstract: A keyboard data collecting device which makes it possible to record the duration, frequency and latency of ten different forms of behaviour simultaneously via direct observation, is presented. The device is simple to operate and easily built even in laboratories without advanced electronic knowledge. It makes the handling of extensive amounts of data easy, since a punched tape output of ASCII-coded data is available for rapid computer processing.
