It is useful to solve mathematical problems, understand a graph or construct a mental representation from a technical diagram etc.

The paper has made an attempt to understand the concept of imagery, various models, theories and principles of imagery as well as fundamental nature and properties of imagers. It has also critically highlighted the importance of imagery in education of the visually impaired.
