You might be interested in the Workshop on Cognitive Models of Programming-like Activity that took place at the CHI conference last year. Several of the participants have had close involvement with PPIG. http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~cmscrr/CHI-WS/ > I note that Pop-V. A. Cognitive Theories exists in the Keyword Index. > However, I do not see much activity in this area in the discussion > mailing list. The Keyword Index has only been active three years. There was a lot more research into cognitive models about 10 years ago, but it was in a lull when I created the index. Revival of interest meant that I just added that entry recently.
