The psychology of mental imagery has been caught up in the misconception that mental images are entities in an individual. First, I address this longstanding misconception by examining the basic conception of Stephen M. Kosslyn and his colleagues, which underlies all their arguments. This misconception is genuinely conceptual in the sense that it stems from grammatical violations of the use of the words `see', `mental image', `imagination', and so on. Next, in the main body of this article, I attempt to elucidate the concept of imagination by describing practices for organizing imagination. Imagination is re-specified as an organizational property of the ongoing activity rather than any process, event or state in an individual, through the detailed analysis of an occasion in which three 12-year-old participants jointly play a kind of computer game. Finally, Zeno Pylyshyn's `tacit knowledge' explanation of mental imagery is examined
