Shepard and Feng (1972)

Aim - To discover the VSS

Procedure - Shepard and Feng used shapes such as the opening of a cube and asked P#s to imagine folding these flat shapes to form a cube with the grey area as the base and then to decide whether in the finished cube, the arrows on the open shape would meet.

Results - Found that visual images work in a very similar was to real life perception.

Conclusion - The VSS is used in tasks like the above for the temporary storage and manipulation of visual patterns and spatial movement. They require concentration. People are likely to find it difficult to do two tasks simultaneously
