	Imagination - LoveToKnow 1911
		Thus the image of a centaur is the result of combining the common percepts of man and horse: fairy tales and fiction generally are the result of this process of combination.
		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.
		In various spheres, however, even imagination is in practice limited: thus a man whose imaginations do violence to the elementary laws of thought, or to the necessary principles of practical possibility, or to the reasonable probabilities of a given case is regarded as insane.

	Imagination Inflation: Imagining a Childhood Event Inflates Confidence that it Occurred
		To determine the effects of imagining a childhood event, we pretested subjects on how confident they were that a number of childhood events had happened, asked them to imagine some of those events, and then gathered new confidence measures.
		The ease with which subjects stated they could imagine the symptoms was tied to likelihood estimates: Those who judged the symptoms as easy to imagine also tended to estimate the disease as more likely to occur; those who thought the symptoms were difficult to imagine thought it less likely to occur.
		For instance, Subject 1 imagined the four events in Subset A, and did not imagine the four events in Subset B; Subject 2 imagined the four events in Subset B but did not imagine the four events in Subset A. In both cases, items were imagined in specific steps.

	Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - imagination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Imagination is also regarded as responsible for fantasy, inventiveness, idiosyncrasy, and creative, original, and insightful thought in general, and, sometimes, for a much wider range of mental activities dealing with the non-actual, such as supposing, pretending, 'seeing as', thinking of possibilities, and even being mistaken.
		Imagination makes knowledge of the phenomenal world possible, by synthesizing the incoherent sensory manifold into representational images suitable to be brought under concepts.
		Nevertheless, for many intellectuals "imagination" remains a term of great cultural significance, but one whose primary association is with aesthetic theory rather than epistemology, and which is most naturally first approached through the study of the ideas of literary figures such as Coleridge.

		Imagination is the faculty of representing to oneself sensible objects independently of an actual impression of those objects on our senses.

	HGSE News: Who Needs Imagination? An Interview with Professor Paul Harris
		A: The message in my book The Work of the Imagination sums it up like this: suppose we think of pretend play and fantasy as something that's quite characteristic of young children—it makes them playful and endearing but doesn't really contribute to their later cognitive development and by adulthood it has in some sense disappeared.
		The ability to construct such models in the imagination is, in my view, something that emerges from these very early capacities that children show to engage in pretend play and to think about a time and place that is removed from their current situation.
		But if you look at children with autism and see how restricted their imagination is, you are forced to the conclusion that imagination is probably something that we can't do without, and not something that we need to overcome.

		Imagination isn't essential listening, even for Brian Wilson cultists, but it proves that when the mood hits, he can still sing the summertime blues.
		Remarkably, I think it works nicely with Brian's sound-- the vocal harmonies are all present and as lush as you would hope, but with an edge to the recording that separates it.
		From the optimistic opening of "Your Imagination" to the final track "Happy Days", the whole album is like a breath of fresh air that all Wilson and Beach Boys fans will love.
