Tamar Paz, Tami Lapidot · 2004
This paper reports a research into the performance of high school students while they were first exposed to the paradigm of functional programming. The findings have been organized using three categories. In this paper we will concentrate on the "Automated assignment to parameters" conception which was the most widespread conception found in the research. We will describe the conception and will discuss some possible factors that could influence its development.
