imagination  

Definition(s)

  • Imagination is the ability to see things other than as they are—the capacity to transcend the actual and to construct the possible—and the impossible. It is a habit of mind that is marked by the joint conditions of the actual and the possible, the usual and the novel, the cognitive and the emotional, the logical and the extra-logical. [Source: Encyclopedia of Giftedness, Creativity, and Talent; Imagination]
