Does our power of imagination require memory access?

Answer 1

no. tabula rasa.

Answer 2

I love my imagination and it freaks me out at the same time.

Here on YA I asked if babies in the womb have imaginations. Most parents who are expecting do treat the baby in the womb as imaginative. Daddy's will talk to the Mommies bellies. Sometimes the baby gets stories read to it. However, most expecting parents universally believe that their child is imagining life and since the baby in the womb does not have memory to access, then were does imagination come from???

Plus, there is Helen Keller. The blind-deft- mute ... what was her imagination like??? She did have ways to problem solve. Problem solving is one of the best things about imaginations. We want to move a heavy thing from here to there, and our imagination comes up with a wheel and a platform . Anyways, Helen Keller did have a strong imagination to navigate her way through a world with no sight, sound, or tons of memory's to access.

Yeah, I'll be pondering where imagination comes from until God lets me understand.

Answer 3

hahahaha.

I don't think so. If I understand the question right, little kids are really imaginative and while they have memories and can access them, they don't have many. And they don't really remember anything when they're older from when they were like 2 years old.

Answer 4

my memory doesnt work very well, but I'm one of the most random people sometimes and I write of stories and ideas most have yet to think upon.

Answer 5

maybe because if you imagine something, you have to think of something that has happened or whatever before hand and it had to have come from experiece from something else. I don't really know if that made sence.
