What Makes APIs Difficult to Use?
Use of APIs is an inseparable part of software development today. But programmers often find difficulties in using those APIs in client code [27]. This reduces programmers' productivity as well as quality of the client code [30]. Therefore, APIs should be implemented to have high usability, and to this extent a good understanding of what makes APIs difficult to use demands the foremost importan...
متن کاملWhat makes a categorization task difficult?
To understand why some categorization tasks are more difficult than others, we consider five factors that may affect human performance--namely, covariance complexity, optimal accuracy level with and without internal noise, orientation of the optimal categorization rule, and class separability. We argue that covariance complexity, an information-theoretic measure of complexity, is an excellent p...
متن کاملWhat makes distributed practice effective?
The advantages provided to memory by the distribution of multiple practice or study opportunities are among the most powerful effects in memory research. In this paper, we critically review the class of theories that presume contextual or encoding variability as the sole basis for the advantages of distributed practice, and recommend an alternative approach based on the idea that some study eve...
متن کاملForecasting Aggression: Toward a New Interdisciplinary Understanding of What Makes Some Troubled Youth Turn Violent
It takes a series of unfortunate circumstances for an adolescent to turn violent. While early exposure to familial violence can play a role, so too can biological influences such as hormone levels and genetic predispositions. The combination of these factors can be deadly. Although genes and other biological causes are difficult to identify and may be impossible to overcome through known therap...
متن کاملThe Reality of Myoelectric Prostheses: Understanding What Makes These Devices Difficult for Some Users to Control
Users of myoelectric prostheses can often find them difficult to control. This can lead to passive-use of the device or total rejection, which can have detrimental effects on the contralateral limb due to overuse. Current clinically available prostheses are "open loop" systems, and although considerable effort has been focused on developing biofeedback to "close the loop," there is evidence fro...
