Towards identifying programming expertise with the use of physiological measures [Elektronisk resurs]

• In this position paper we propose means of measuring pro- gramming expertise on novice and expert programmers. Our approach is to measure the cognitive load of programmers while they assess Java/Python code in accordance with their experience in programming. Our hypothesis is that expert programmers encounter smaller pupillary dilation within pro- gramming problem solving tasks. We aim to evaluate our hypothesis using the EMIP Distributed Data Collection in order to confirm or reject our approach.
