Abstrakt: Empirical studies of programming language learnability and usability have thus far depended on indirect measures of human cognitive performance, attempting to capture what is at its essence a purely cognitive exercise through various indicators of comprehension, such as the time spent working out the meaning of code and producing acceptable solutions. We present evidence of the relative contribution of experience and the individual alpha frequency (IAF) to achieving correct performance during program comprehension tasks, specifically that more experience and higher IAF are both associated with an increased likelihood of correct task performance, with experience playing the greater part.
