本研究评估了编程语言对学生理解源代码的影响，比较了 C++ 和 Python 两种语言在两个任务类别中的表现：概述任务和查找错误任务。在 38 名学生完成任务和回答问题时，对他们的目光进行了跟踪。结果表明，在准确性或时间上没有明显差异，但在学生查看有错误的代码行的速度上有明显差异。这些结果为编程语言在编程入门课程中可能产生的影响提供了一些方向。
A study to assess the effect of programming language on student comprehension of source code is presented, comparing the languages of C++ and Python in two task categories: overview and find bug tasks. Eye gazes are tracked while thirty-eight students complete tasks and answer questions. Results indicate no significant difference in accuracy or time, however there is a significant difference reported on the rate at which students look at buggy lines of code. These results start to provide some direction as to the effect programming language might have in introductory programming classes.
