TY - JOUR T1 - Syntactic/semantic interactions in programmer behavior: A model and experimental results JF - International Journal of Parallel Programming Y1 - 1979 A1 - Shneiderman, Ben A1 - Mayer,Richard AB - This paper presents a cognitive framework for describing behaviors involved in program composition, comprehension, debugging, modification, and the acquisition of new programming concepts, skills, and knowledge. An information processing model is presented which includes a long-term store of semantic and syntactic knowledge, and a working memory in which problem solutions are constructed. New experimental evidence is presented to support the model of syntactic/semantic interaction. VL - 8 SN - 0885-7458 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00977789 CP - 3 ER -
