   ABSTRACT     = {There exists an extensive literature on vision science, 
      on the one hand, and on program comprehension, on the other hand. 
      However, these two domains of research have been so far rather 
      disjoint. Indeed, several cognitive theories have been proposed to 
      explain program comprehension. These theories explain the processes 
      taking place in the software engineers' minds when they understand 
      programs. They explain how software engineers \emph{process} 
      available information to perform their tasks but not how software 
      engineers \emph{acquire} this information. Vision science provides 
      explanations on the processes used by people to acquire visual 
      information from their environment. Joining vision science and 
      program comprehension provides a more comprehensive theoretical 
      framework to explain facts on program comprehension, to predict new 
      facts, and to frame experiments. We join theories in vision science 
      and in program comprehension; the resulting theory is consistent with 
      facts on program comprehension and helps in predicting new facts, in 
      devising experiments, and in putting certain program comprehension 
      concepts in perspective.}
