Mental imagery, visualisation tools and team work
This event took place on Monday 22 March 2004 at 12:30

Dr. Marian Petre Faculty of Maths and Computing, Open University

This talk will describe a series of empirical investigations into the relationship between mental imagery and software visualisation in professional, high-performance programming. It will describe why these programmers tend not to use commercially available visualisation software as well as what tools they build for themselves, how they use the tools they build for themselves, and why they build tools for themselves.
