After decades of research, there is still no comprehensive, validated model of program comprehension. Recently, researchers have been applying psycho-physiological measures to expand our understanding of program comprehension. In this position paper, we ...

Existing research in program comprehension has paid less attention to the coverage of programming concepts that were contained within the source codes used for studies. In this paper, we examine source codes covering four introductory programming ...

Recently, eye-tracking analysis for finding the cognitive load and stress while problem-solving on the whiteboard during a technical interview is finding its way in software engineering society. However, there is no empirical study on analyzing how much ...

Researchers have been employing psycho-physiological measures to better understand program comprehension, for example simultaneous fMRI and eye tracking to validate top-down comprehension models. In this paper, we argue that there is additional value in ...

In order to ensure sufficient quality, software engineers conduct code reviews to read over one another's code looking for errors that should be fixed before committing to their source code repositories. Many kinds of errors are spotted, from simple ...

Previous work investigating the eye movements of computer programmers with dyslexia suggests that the gaze behaviour expected of dyslexic readers when processing natural text does not consistently manifest when programmers with dyslexia read program ...
