【 摘 要 】

The article is devoted to the investigation of the specific features of imagination at the stage of eye-mindedness during the cognitive activity of a subject. Human mind possesses the property of cognitive creativity, which means free combination of various images. Imagination is based on the creative processes. Perceiving the reality in the framework of his cognitive experience, a child tries to comprehend the surrounding «metaphorical reality», invoking his own interpretation and forming new meanings. The subject’s individual experience gives rise to a metaphor because of the response to the surrounding reality, as a method of solution of contradictions appearing during the cognition process and the reality representation. At the eye-mindedness, stage for search of solutions and language deficient meanings the child, using the available imagery, synthesizes new concepts, without thinking about logical laws or special compatibility regulations, easily transferring from one frame into another, activating fantasy and imagination. The investigation of the formation mechanism of the imagery on the rhyme discourse confirms that the reproductive representation is based on metaphorical transfers, which permit to abstract some feature of one subject and see it in another one. Emphasis of a feature specifies an image and makes it unforgettable at the expense of various stylistic means. Imagination as a method of imagery creation is connected with the subject’s emotional sphere, it opens the freedom to creative independency, fulfils the modeling function, creating unusual metaphors, implements new informative interpretation of features, phenomena. Being connected with thinking, it realizes its compensative function during the process of the subject’s cognitive activity, maintaining the correlation between available cognitive structures and new knowledge
