Piagetian Formal Operations and Other Cognitive Correlates of Achievement in Computer Programming.
Cafolla, Ralph
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v16 n1 p45-55 1987-88
Describes a study designed to determine if college students' success in writing computer programs is related to level of cognitive development as described by Piaget, verbal ability, and mathematics reasoning. Regression analysis showed that level of cognitive development, when combined with verbal reasoning, is linearly predictive of programming ability. (Author/LRW)
