Memory diagrams focus on how, in an abstract sense, the memory of the machine changes as the program executes. Though memory diagrams are a simple idea, by careful use of shape and placement, a number… Show more

“…In some cases assessment techniques are designed to assess specific learning outcomes. Memory diagrams were used by Holliday and Luginbuhl [263] as a tool to assess students' understanding of programming concepts, and a marking scheme was developed by de Raadt et al [154] to assess the application and comprehension of programming strategies that were explicitly taught in a course.…”
