The relationship between non-cognitive factors and Logo programming has attracted little direct attention, although incidental evidence is available. Logo has been associated with high levels of pupil interaction, enjoyment, and pupils’ feelings of success (for example the Brookline Public Schools reports of 1978 and 1979 reported in Martin (1986) and the Lamplighter School Evaluation, 1981), better school attendance (Robinson and Uhlig, 1988), high levels of concentration, and time on task (Hughes and Macleod, 1986), favourable attitudes towards work (Declos et a1 1985), and pleasure at discovery (Nastasi, Clements and Battista, 1990).
