note = "Funding Information: A large part of the research presented in this paper was done during Am?lio?s post-doctoral research work funded by the University of Luxembourg. Lionel Briand?s research was undertaken, in part, thanks to funding from the Canada Research Chairs program. We thank the reviewers for their suggestions and challenging of the paper; this led to many improvements that resulted in a better article. We thank Christian Glodt for his help with the VCL tool, and all participants of the controlled experiment presented here at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL), Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the New University of Lisbon (FCT/UNL), University of Luxembourg and University of York (UY). Several people at the host institutions made the controlled experiment possible, namely, Isabel Nunes (FCUL), Jo?o Ara?ujo (FCT/UNL), Fiona Polack (UY), Ant?nia Lopes (FCUL) and Ana Moreira (FCT/UNL).
