Resumo

Imagination is an important part of psychic life, works as a support for thought and joins in knowledge processes. One of the most interesting features of imagination is its evocative capacity, which allows individuals to free themselves from the immediate environment of the physical world and build an inner world distanced from reality. So we can fantasize, dream and create. The goal of this work was to review the latest findings on the involvement of different cognitive styles in different creative fields. Starting from the definition of mental images as a result of imagination, different measures of mental images were reviewed: subjective questionnaires resulting from introspection, objective measures, mainly linked to spatial abilities, physiological methods and new measures of neuroscience. A section was dedicated to information processing styles: object, spatial and verbal image, which distinguish the types of imagination in different fields of knowledge, and studies carried out in different professional fields and university degrees were analysed. The results of previous studies, far from answering many of our questions, open up new lines of research, both about the need to create new measures of image ability and how to approach image skills in different fields.
