Synopsis: This diagram shows the set up of the three mountains task. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. In the top half of the page is a plan view of a model of the three mountains on a square table with each side labelled 1 to 4. Looking down on the table there is a large mountain at the 12 oclock position, shown as a large circle, a middle sized one down from this on the right, and a small one on the left from it. The lower half of the page shows the side views of the experiment. Here there are four diagrams each showing a different view of the three mountains model, as seen by looking directly at it from each side. From side 1 the large mountain is on the left, and on the right the small mountain is in front of the middle sized mountain. From side 2, the small mountain and the middle sized mountain can be seen in front with the large mountain behind and in between them. From side 3 only the middle-sized and large mountains can be seen, as the small mountain is behind the middle sized mountain and cannot be seen. From side 4, the large mountain can be seen in front, with the other two behind it, the middle sized one on the left, and the small mountain on the right.
