Abstract
We present the second stage of a study within the context of geometry, whose aim is to investigate relationships between and influence of visualization, the concept images of students concerning geometrical concepts and their definition, and students' ability to prove. We focus on links between the understanding of the definition's role in concluding the geometrical concept attributes and proofs that deal with these attributes. We exemplify this stage in our research, by means of examples, which reveal that the difficulties students have in understanding the geometric concepts' definitions affect the understanding of the proving process and hence the ability to prove.
