Cognitive bias in software engineering
Stacy W., MacMillan J. Communications of the ACM 38(6): 57-63, 1995. Type: Article
Cognitive scientists have observed that people’s intuitive inferences and probability judgments do not strictly conform to the laws of logic or mathematics and that people are willing to provide plausible explanations for ran...

The use of unfamiliar programming languages by experienced programmers
Scholtz J., Wiedenbeck S. (ed) People and computers VII (, York, UK, 561993. Type: Proceedings
My first reaction to this paper was mixed. The positive part was that the paper focuses on research on experienced programmers’ use of a new language. The negative part was that the abstract excludes the intended audience.

Cognitive Fit: An Empirical Study of Recursion and Iteration
Sinha A., Vessey I. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 18(5): 368-379, 1992. Type: Article
The theory of cognitive fit states that problem-solving elements (problem representation and problem-solving tools and techniques) should support the problem-solving strategies or processes required to perform the task. Is the ...

Cognitive processes in program comprehension
Letovsky S. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 791986. Type: Proceedings
This paper reports on a protocol analysis study designed to investigate cognitive processes that relate to program understanding. The study attempts to examine cognitive processes that occur over seconds and minutes in order to investi...

Analyzing the high frequency bugs in novice programs
Spohrer J., Soloway E. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 2511986. Type: Proceedings
This paper reports on research in the analysis of Pascal programs written by novice programmers. The results show that certain classes of bugs occur more often in novice programs than others, and that the cause of nonsyntactic bugs is ...

Plans in programming: definition, demonstration, and development
Rist R. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 471986. Type: Proceedings
This paper attempts to show that computer programs can be analyzed as a collection of plans (e.g., a compute-average plan, containing a sum plan and a count plan), that experts decompose programs into plans, and that novices develop po...

Fragile knowledge and neglected strategies in novice programmers
Perkins D., Martin F. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 2291986. Type: Proceedings
This paper describes a small clinical study involving 20 high school students carrying out a sequence of increasingly difficult short programming assignments in BASIC. The authors define the concept of fragile knowledge, which t...

Processes in computer program comprehension
Weidenbeck S. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 571986. Type: Proceedings
This work reports on a modest experiment that tries to confirm that certain details of program texts, called beacons, are especially important for program comprehension. In the experiment, programmers were each given the same sh...

Mental models and software maintenance
Littman D., Pinto J., Letovsky S., Soloway E. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 981986. Type: Proceedings
This paper discusses a study that attempted to discover how professional programmers approach program maintenance. They found two distinct modes of behavior: the systematic strategy and the as-needed strategy. Programmers using the fir...

Design activity in developing modules for complex software
Norcio A., Chmura L. Empirical studies of programmers (, Washington, DC, 1161986. Type: Proceedings
The authors present the results of weekly reports by software engineers that describe the design activities of a project consisting of the redevelopment of the operational flight program for an aircraft named the A-7E. The data were co...
