What is imagination?

Abstract

This is a fragment of notes from a lecture given by V.V. Repkin in 1975 to students at the Institute of Psychology of the Kharkiv State University, dedicated to the problem of the psychology of imagination. The author's judgments, expressed almost fifty years ago, reveal his concern with the education of the child's personality as the fundamental objective of developmental learning theory, rather than the mere assimilation of theoretical concepts.
