Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to assess one cognitive style dimension, hemispheric lateralization, and its relationship to programming performance. A total of sixty subjects from four different undergraduate classes in COBOL programming participated in the study. The results indicated that laterality preference did not appear to be significantly related to performance on programming tasks. Varying the mode of instruction also did not have a differential effect on programming performance. Exploration of other measures of hemispheric lateralization and assessment of other cognitive models of programming ability are recommended.
