|content=This is an Open University web tutorial with exercises to explore and explain visualisation. Imagery is a powerful force for perception and understanding. Being able to see something mentally is a common metaphor for understanding it. Some people can close their eyes and “see” a picture but, for others, it has much more to do with imagining, than seeing. Try to picture a cube, the seven-times table, a graph of sin x.
