Online study participants for master's thesis (15min)

Community General Discussion
1

Hello everyone.

In my master's thesis, I am working on modelling a cognitive architecture to simulate code comprehension.

We are looking for participants to work on some code comprehension tasks to evaluate the model. The code is very simple. Takes about 15 minutes.

The study is conducted online, is completely anonymous, and can be completed directly on a PC: Questionnaire | page 1

We would be happy to have many participants.
You are also welcome to forward this to anyone so that it spreads as widely as possible.

Sincerely Christian

My grandfather forbade me to click on other people's links.

It turned out there was nothing wrong there, I clicked. But the tasks are very difficult

Thank you for your participation.
I know the tasks are not easy, but we had to go to the limit to make the expected effects visible at all.
Regards
Christian

In my youth, I was put in remedial (test subject material). I see (test subject material) backwards and almost meaningless in the test. Now, I understand I was not bad at (test subject material) but thinking about how each one is associated with the other and even how they associate with totally different items. I want to laugh at all those administrators calling me retarded and unable to function as a normal child, but they are all long dead. HAHAHHahaHAHA. I win.

Totally bizarre. It's simply a "how good is your short term memory" test.
Nothing to do with the Arduino, programming or problem solving.

Reading and answering a few questions is upsetting? On what "answer" was there not a problem to be solved?

That is simply a distraction. The calculation is not important. As I said it's just a memory test.

The purpose of the fish video is not there to make you relax, it's purpose is to to fill your short term memory with garbage in preparation for the next memory test.

Hello everyone
We are aware that the tasks are more like a memory test than a traditional code understanding test. One of the reasons for this is that our cognitive model is based on memory models, which we now want to slowly expand in the direction of coding skills. Of course, this can only be done in very small steps within the scope of a master's thesis.
I know that this problem is not Arduino related, but we want to address a broad mass of people who work with code and not just students.
In any case, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the experiment. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. We are trying to be as transparent as possible.
Best regards
Christian
