Xie, Shaohua, Kraemer, Eileen, Stirewalt, R. E. K., Dillon, Laura K. and Fleming, Scott D. (2008): Assessing the benefits of synchronization-adorned sequence diagrams: two controlled experiments. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2008. pp. 9-18.

“Learning about concurrency and synchronization is difficult for novices. In prior work, we developed saUML, a refinement of UML sequence diagrams, to address these difficulties and found them to be beneficial when compared to text-only presentations. This paper compares saUML to standard UML sequence diagrams to judge their relative effectiveness in enhancing a novice programmer's understanding of programs with different levels of synchronization complexity. One experiment compared the two notations when used to understand programs of low synchronization complexity, as judged by their use of only simple synchronization primitives, such as mutex locks. Here, a beneficial trend was observed, but it did not rise to the level of statistical significance. A second experiment compared the two notations on similar tasks but on programs with more complex synchronization constructs, in this case condition synchronization using primitives, such as wait and signal. Here, a significant benefit (p < 0.05) was found to exist.”

Reed, Bina, Rhodes, Philippa, Kraemer, Eileen, Davis, Elizabeth Thorpe and Hailston, Kenneth (2006): The effect of comparison cueing and exchange motion on comprehension of program visualizations. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2006. pp. 181-182.

“We describe an experiment that evaluates the effect of two attributes of an algorithm animation: presence of cueing (flashing) to indicate to the viewer that two data elements have been compared, and type of animation (arcing move or grow/shrink) to indicate that two data elements have exchanged values. We evaluate the impact of these attributes both on perception of the animated changes and on viewer comprehension of the depicted algorithm, as measured by the number of correctly answered questions in two question sets: "traditional" (comprehension) questions and "popup" (perception) questions. No significant effect on comprehension was observed for either flash cueing or exchange motion, though we note that comparison and exchange behaviors were redundantly cued in the animation studied. Significant effects were found for flash cueing and "move" versus "grow" in the perceptual questions displayed in popup windows.”

Rhodes, Philippa, Kraemer, Eileen and Reed, Bina (2006): The importance of interactive questioning techniques in the comprehension of algorithm animations. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2006. pp. 183-184.

“The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to analyze the usefulness of various types of pop-up questions used in algorithm animations. Preliminary analysis indicates that providing feedback to pop-up questions increases the participant's ability to correctly answer both pop-up questions and regular test questions while the form of interaction required of the user via pop-up questions lessens the overall performance, though not significantly.”
