Neural Efficiency of Top-Down Program Comprehension

Zusammenfassung

We observed program comprehension with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and found a difference in neural efficiency between top-down and bottom-up comprehension, but failed to find a significant effect from beacons. Furthermore, we were able to replicate the results of a previous fMRI study, thereby strengthening the role of fMRI as measurement technique to observe program comprehension and other related cognitive processes.
