Abstract

Separation of concerns comes from the inspiration how scientists study and understand problems. However, do humans always think scientifically? It is time to consider the human factor in software engineering. We show first indications that our minds do not structure information in an absolutely separated and sharp way. This is done by comparing concerns with research from psychology about categories. The ramification is: Research about categories needs to be considered for separation of concerns. Our goal is to show the emerging need for further investigations.
