Imaginasi

Imaginasi (serapan  "saya membayangkan" terbitan kata imāgō "gambar, bayangan" melalui bahasa Belanda) ialah keupayaan untuk menghasilkan dan mensimulasikan objek baru, sensasi, dan idea dalam minda tanpa sebarang input segera daripada deria. Ia juga digambarkan sebagai pembentukan pengalaman dalam fikiran seseorang, yang boleh menjadi penciptaan semula pengalaman masa lalu, seperti kenangan yang jelas dengan perubahan yang dibayangkan, atau adegan yang direka cipta sepenuhnya dan mungkin hebat. Imaginasi membantu menjadikan pengetahuan boleh digunakan dalam menyelesaikan masalah dan ialah asas untuk mengintegrasikan pengalaman dan proses pembelajaran. Latihan asas untuk imaginasi ialah mendengar cerita ("naratif"), di mana ketepatan perkataan yang dipilih ialah faktor asas untuk "membangkitkan dunia".
