As far as published studies, I have found many through the Psychology of Programming Interest Group, which has a web site http://www.ppig.org/ and an archived mailing list http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/ with a fairly high density of reports on (formal) empirical studies on related issues. Asking the question on their mailing list is likely to be return quite a few references to proper studies. Jacques
