①想象是人脑在原有感性形象的基础上创造出新形象的心理过程。如作家在写作时所需塑造的人物形象,是作家在已经积累的知觉材料的基础上经过加工改造而成的。也就是说,想象是在人脑中对已有表象进行加工改造而创造新形象的过程。 1 Imagination is the psychological process in which the human brain creates a new image based on the original perceptual image. For example, the character image that a writer needs to create when he writes is a writer who has been processed and transformed on the basis of accumulated perception materials. In other words, imagination is the process of creating new images by modifying existing representations in the human brain.
