This paper presents a cognitive framework for describing behaviors involved in program composition, comprehension, debugging, modification, and the acquisition of new programming concepts, skills, and knowledge. An information processing model is presented which includes a long-term store of semantic and syntactic knowledge, and a working memory in which problem solutions are constructed. New experimental evidence is presented to support the model of syntactic/semantic interaction.

“…Weinberg [11] outlined a generally followed course for the studies. SQL --and its predecessor SEQUEL --has been a pair in early comparisons [12,13], later on, query languages based on the syntax of SQL and those designed for XML have been tested [14,15]. The studies apply methods adopted from behavioural sciences to the research of query languages [16].…”

“…The studies apply methods adopted from behavioural sciences to the research of query languages [16]. Typically, the aim has been to evaluate or compare query languages for ease-of-use [13,14,15,17], study query language design and human factors related to it [12,16,17,18,19] or explore human behaviour in query writing/reading [14,19].…”

Two XML query languages were tested for intuitivity, learnability and memorability. The languages differ with relation to the query structures like the use of variables, iterators, and reference to attributes. One of the languages, XQuery, is a procedural, expressive and data-oriented query language that is suitable even for programming purposes; the other, XIL, is more declarative, documentoriented query language with a simpler syntax. A query writing test with the learners of the languages was executed. The study indicates that in the query writing, the more procedural query language yields in a greater number of correct queries. Similarity between the tested languages, and to SQL, is discussed from the point-of-view of learnability.

System R is a database management system which provides a high level relational data interface. The system provides a high level of data independence by isolating the end user as much as possible from underlying storage structures. The system permits definition of a variety of relational views on common underlying data. Data control features are provided, including authorization, integrity assertions, triggered transactions, a logging and recovery subsystem, and facilities for maintaining data consistency in a shared-update environment.This paper contains a description of the overall architecture and design of the system. At the present time the system is being implemented and the design evaluated. We emphasize that System R is a vehicle for research in database architecture, and is not planned as a product.
