Abstracts
Pea and Kurland failed to find support for the idea that a year of Logo activities improved children’s strategic planning skills.
From Richard E. Mayer, Jennifer L. Dyck, William Vilberg in the text Learning to program and learning to think: what's the connection? (1986) on page 606Pea and Kurland (1984) found no problem-solving transfer based on programming language instruction. Fourth- and sixth-grade students did not show significant problem-solving and planning increases after Logo instruction. The authors also remark that specific and near problem-solving transfer may not occur through programming language instruction. They found that high school students failed to develop problem-solving skills within the Logo programming domain.
From David B. Palumbo in the text Programming Language/Problem-Solving Research (1990) 
This paper critically examines current thinking about whether learning
computer programming promotes the development of general higher mental functions.
We show how the available evidence, and the underlying assumptions about the
process of learning to program fail to address this issue adequately. Our analysis is
based on a developmental cognitive science perspective on learning to program
incorporating developmental and cognitive science considerations of the mental
activities involved in programming. It highlights the importance for future research of
investigating students’ interactions with instructional and programming contexts,
developmental transformation of their programming skills, and their background
knowledge and reasoning abilities.
Comments
A series of
smaller studies conducted by Roy Pea and
Midian Kurland (1984) is often referenced
as the sole evidence that learning Logo programming
did not produce any transferable
effects. These studies had several methodological
issues; for example, neglecting to
consider the length of time spent learning
programming and the type of programs created.
