本文介绍了一种可视化编程语言的使用，教基于计算机的建模本科认知心理学的学生的调查。进行了四组评价研究。这些理论和实证评估的结果与设计原则有关，这些设计原则为语言和语境提供了信息。这些研究强调了获得认知建模的实践经验的教育益处，以及在合理的教学框架内引入视觉语言的重要性。学生和导师关于使用Hank可视化编程语言教授认知建模的评论表明，Hank避免了与文本编程语言相关的一些语法问题，它可以用于说明程序执行期间的控制流，并且直观易用
This paper describes an investigation into the use of a visual programming language to teach computer-based modelling to undergraduate cognitive psychology students. Four sets of evaluation studies were carried out. The findings of these theoretical and empirical evaluations are related to the design principles that informed the language and the context in which it was examined. The educational benefits of gaining some practical experience of cognitive modelling where highlighted in these studies, as was the importance of introducing the visual language within a sound teaching framework. The comments of the students and tutors regarding the use of the Hank visual programming language to teach cognitive modelling indicate that Hank avoids some of the syntactic problems associated with textual programming languages, it can be used to illustrate the flow of control during a program's execution, and it is intuitive and easy to use
