Exploring the Cognitive Psychology Paradigm of a Programming Language and Identification of Emotion under Collective Intelligence: An Experience with an Ant Colony Metaphor

Software development is a collective intellectual and complex process, and the programmers are the basic building block of this process. The cognitive and behavioural aspects of the programmer significantly monitor the performance of any software development. In turn, the cognitive attributes of a programmer informs us about the psychological pedagogy of programming. This proposal incorporates a simulation of programmers' psychology tuned with artificial agents' behaviours. The agents are a colony of ants, they perform their tasks collectively with optimized effort similar to any programming assignment in a software development project. The paper then investigates and addresses some issues relevant to monitoring and measurement of a programmer's psychology, as well as evaluation of the acceptability of several new generation programming tools. While presenting such psychological impact, it has also been reinforced the positioning of human inferences have been influenced the mental and cognitive map of participants under social network paradigm, The fact was revealed and validated with an extension part of the proposed model.
