Understanding Computer Programs: Computational and Cognitive Perspectives

S Srikant - 2023 - dspace.mit.edu
In this thesis, I study the understanding of computer programs (code) from two perspectives:
computational and cognitive. I ask what the human bases of understanding code are, and …

Program Comprehension Does Not Primarily Rely On the Language Centers of the Human Brain
