Imagination is the ability to form mantal images, or the ability to generate images within one's own mind . It helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge of which we have aquired which makes us unique from all of us .it is a fundamental facility through which people make sense of the world and it also plays a key role in the learning process A basic training for imagination is the listening to story telling, in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke worlds'.The story of harry poter which was the imagination of the author which has become so powerful that they have become so famous.
It is accepted as the innate ability and process to invent partial or complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from sense perceptions of the shared world. The term is technically used in psychology for the process of reviving in the mind percepts of objects formerly given in sense perception. Since this use of the term conflicts with that of ordinary language, some psychologists have preferred to describe this process as imagery or to speak of it as "reproductive" as opposed to "productive" or "constructive" imagination. Imagined images are seen with the mind’s eye.
One hypothesis for the evolution of human imagination is that it allowed conscious beings to solve problems by use of mental simulation.if we have any problem we have the clear picture of the problem in our mind images & we try to find ways for solving the problems in our imaginations.
The common use of the term is for the process of forming in the mind new images which have not been previously experienced, or at least only partially or in different combinations. Some typical examples follow:
Fairy tale
Fiction
A fantasy and science fiction invites readers to pretend such stories are true by referring to objects of the mind such as fictional books or years that do not exist apart from an imaginary world.
Imagination in this sense, not being limited to the acquisition of exact knowledge by the requirements of practical necessity, is, up to a certain point, free from objective restraints. The ability to imagine one's self in another person's place is very important to social relations and understanding. (Some psychiatrists suspect this is beyond the grasp of a socipath. All they know is the gratification of personal pleasure).
