| Abstract: | Recent research using professional programmers suggests that knowledge of the application domain plays a major role in the cognitive processes they use to understand computer programs. In general programmers use a more top-down comprehension process when working in familiar application domains, and a more bottom-up process in unfamiliar domains. The present study builds on that research by further characterizing comprehension processes. |
