Imagination as a Higher Mental Function with Luca Tateo

Ivana Guarrasi by Ivana Guarrasi
March 22, 2024

Tuesday, April 2 at 9am Pacific Daylight Savings Time

Guest Speaker: Luca Tateo, Professor, Department of Special Needs Education, University of Oslo, Norway

Summary:  Human action is based on an imaginative reconstruction of the past in function of an imagined future. Rethinking imagination in psychological sciences requires a different look at the relationship between mind and the environment. Imagination is a fundamental psychological higher function that elaborates meaning by linguistic and iconic sings, related to memory, fantasy and intelligence, playing a crucial role in scientific thinking, art, and societal change.

Reading: Tateo, L. (2015). Just an Illusion? Imagination as Higher Mental Function. Psychology & Psychotherapy 5-6
