Existing research has drawn parallels from the comprehension of text to the comprehension of source code. In this study, we attempt to develop this analogy by positing and testing a notion of code cohesion, analogous to text cohesion. We also attempt to extend a known effect in text comprehension research, the reverse cohesion effect, to code contexts. Our findings provide some corroboration for code cohesion, but fail to find robust evidence for a reverse cohesion effect. This reinforces similarities between text and code comprehension but also suggests that everyday comprehension processes of code and text might differ in meaningful ways.
