A neuro-cognitive perspective of program comprehension

摘要: Program comprehension is the cognitive process of understanding code. Researchers have proposed several models to describe program comprehension. However, because an internal and difficult measure, accuracy existing are limited. Neuro-imaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), provide a novel neuro-cognitive perspective program-comprehension research. With my thesis work, we aim at establishing fMRI new tool for software-engineering studies. Furthermore, seek refine our framework conducting studies by extending it with eye tracking improved control conditions. We how will apply upgraded extend In long-run, would like contribute insights from into practices providing code-styling guidelines programming tools, which reduce required effort comprehend
