A psycholinguistic exploration of focus of attention in second language learning based on recent research findings from the field of motor skill learning
Significant findings from motor skill learning research provide evidence that focus of attention (FOA), induced through instruction, impacts on performance and learning (Wulf, 2007). External FOA instructions, which direct focus to the effect of actions, enhance performance compared with internal …

Measurement of the effects of reusing C++ classes on object-oriented software development
This research models the effects of software reuse on object-oriented software development, in particular, the reuse of C++ classes. Two types of reuse (with and without modification) are compared. The common traits of programmers who tend to reuse are identified, and some object-oriented software …
