Detection of Careless Mistakes during Programming Learning using a Simple Electroencephalograph

Abstract

There are several difficulties encountered by learners during learning such as good or bad learning content, the difficulty level of learning content, and the degree of learning proficiency. It is possible to detect these difficulties by measuring the browsing history, editing history, and biological information such as brain waves or eye-tracking information. In this paper, we measure electroencephalograph (EEG) information during programming learning. We focus on the relationship between task response time and EEG, and try to detect careless mistakes due to the lack of attention. The results show that careless mistakes during programming learning can be detected by experiments.
