想象是人脑对已有的表象进行加工、改造而创造出新形象的心理过程。思维是以概念系统对现实给予超前反映,而想象则是以形象系统对现实进行超前反映。思维活动如果没有想象参加,科学发明、艺术创造都将难以进行。乌申斯基说过,强烈的活跃的想象是伟大智慧不可缺少的属性。 Imagination is the psychological process by which the human brain processes and reforms existing representations to create a new image. Thinking is to give a realistic reflection of the reality by the conceptual system, while the imagination is to reflect the reality ahead with the image system. If you do not imagine thinking to participate in activities, scientific inventions, art creation will be difficult to carry out. Usinski has said that a strong and active imagination is an indispensable attribute of great wisdom.
