Sequence, Selection and Your Brain Metacognition involves "thinking about thinking." When you program a computer, you do a lot of thinking, so it's interesting to stop and consider how you learn and how you think about computer programming. What is happening in your brain when you write a computer program? What is happening in your brain when you read through a computer program that someone else has written? Do you imagine little storage boxes for the variable values? Can you picture the output console or the form that has been designed? Do you keep all of this information in your head as you read each line of code? Do you believe that learning computer programming uses the mathematical components of your brain? Or your language learning components? Your task is to read one of the following articles related to the brain, learning and computer programming. You can also search for your own article that is related to the same topic. This Is Your Brain On Code, According To Functional MRI Imaging Scientists Begin Looking at Programmers' Brains: The Neuroscience of Programming Are Programmer Brains Different? After reading your article, share with your classmates your responses to the following: One thing I found interesting about this article is that...
