On Bartlett's (1928) "Types of imagination"
| Résumé |
Known for his work on memory, Sir Frederick C. Bartlett also
repeatedly wrote about imagination as part of his attempt to
understand the dynamics of mind. Bartlett’s 1928 text explores
autobiographical and literary material so as to identify three
types of imagination (assimilative, creative, and constructive) on
a continuum, depending on how much passive or intentional these
are. This chapter discusses how three of Bartlett’s propositions
have been taken on by research: processes of imagination, typology
of people, and methodological choices. Finally, it is proposed that
researchers pursue the exploration of variations of processes
involved in imagination as proposed by Bartlett, as well as his
original methodologies. |
