A quantitative version of some of the Cognitive Dimensions.

Abstract: A weakness of many interactive visual programming languages (VPLs) is their static representations. Lack of an adequate static representation places a heavy cognitive burden on a VPL s programmers, because they must remember potentially long dynamic sequences of screen displays in order to understand a previously written program. However, although this problem is widely acknowledged, research on how to design better static representations for interactive VPLs is still in its infancy. Building... (Update)
