Computer programming is becoming essential across fields. Traditionally grouped with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, programming also bears parallels to natural languages. These parallels may translate into overlapping processing mechanisms. Investigating the cognitive basis of programming is important for understanding the human mind and could transform education practices.
计算机编程在各个领域变得至关重要。编程传统上与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科归为一组,也与自然语言有相似之处。这些相似之处可能转化为重叠的处理机制。研究编程的认知基础对于理解人类思维很重要,并可能改变教育实践。
