EasyCPU可视化环境是开发用于向计算机科学新手学生教授计算机架构的。在开发过程中，选择计算机的适当概念模型进行可视化的过程是对学生学习时出现的心理模型的动机研究。这些心理模型来自学生的尝试，以理解软件工具及其学习材料（教科书和练习）向他们提出的概念模型。研究发现支持以下观点：可视化对于启用可行的心理模型的构建至关重要，这一过程并非仅来自教科书学习，因为对于大多数学生来说，他们的心理模型是基于他们的最终用户经验而不是理论学习。
The EasyCPU visualization environment was developed for teaching computer architecture to novice students of computer science. During the development, the process of choosing the appropriate conceptual model of the computer for the visualization motivated research on the mental models that arise in the students as they learn. These mental models come from attempts by the students to make sense of the conceptual models presented to them by the software tool and their learning materials (textbook and exercises). The research findings support the view that the visualization was critical in enabling the construction of a viable mental model, a process that did not occur from textbook learning alone, because for the majority of students, their mental models were based upon their end-user experience rather than on the theoretical learning.
