Journal ArticleDOI
Learning and Teaching Programming: A Review and Discussion
TL;DR: This paper identifies general trends comparing novice and expert programmers, programming knowledge and strategies, program generation and comprehension, and object-oriented versus procedural programming and topics relating to novice teaching and learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catastrophic forgetting, rehearsal and pseudorehearsal
TL;DR: A solution to the problem of catastrophic forgetting in neural networks is described, 'pseudorehearsal', a method which provides the advantages of rehearsal without actually requiring any access to the previously learned information (the original training population) itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory retention – the synaptic stability versus plasticity dilemma
TL;DR: The duration of synaptic change does not necessarily define the persistence of a memory and it is likely that a regulated balance of synaptic stability and synaptic plasticity is required for optimal memory retention in real neuronal circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning edge momentum: a new account of outcomes in CS1
TL;DR: The learning edge momentum (LEM) effect operates such that success in acquiring one concept makes learning other closely linked concepts easier (whereas failure makes it harder), which creates an inherent structural bias in CS1, which drives students towards extreme outcomes.
Proceedings Article
My program is correct but it doesn't run: a preliminary investigation of novice programmers' problems
TL;DR: The aim is to record (as close as possible to) all of the problems encountered by students during the laboratory sessions of the authors' introductory Java programming class, and the tools and methods employed are discussed.
