Imagination
Imagination is the ability to form
mental images. It helps providing meaning to experience and
understanding to knowledge; 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
storytelling (
narrative), in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke worlds'.
