The cognitive tests used to measure spatial visualization ability including mental rotation tasks like the Mental Rotations Test or mental cutting tasks like the Mental Cutting Test; and cognitive tests like the VZ-1 (Form Board), VZ-2 (Paper Folding), and VZ-3 (Surface Development) tests from the Kit of Factor-Reference cognitive tests produced by Educational Testing Service.

Kosslyn is best known for his work on mental imagery, the science of learning, and visual communication. Kosslyn has made both theoretical and empirical contributions to the study of mental imagery. His theory organizes neural processing into four steps: generating, inspecting, maintaining, and transforming visual mental images. [ 2 ]
