Interesting paper but I mean c'mon
> Rate of learning, programming accuracy, and post-test declarative knowledge were used as outcome measures in 36 individuals who participated in ten 45-minute Python training sessions.
10 45 minute Python training sessions?
Don't really think this is indicative of learning to code.
Would be interesting to see a much longer study looking at CS undergrads or perhaps coding bootcamp students.
Once you get into Data Structures & Algorithms or something then you'll probably see math ability start to play a role.
