Many people associate the concept of imagination particularly strongly with artistic and, especially, literary creativity, to the extent that discussions of the genesis and psychological roots of artistic and literary works, and of the appreciation of them, are often seen as amounting to discussions of imagination even when neither the term itself, nor any cognate or clear synonym, plays any significant role in what is said. For that reason it seemed appropriate to include some links here (in no particular order) to certain sites that may not have an explicit focus upon imagination, but do discuss the arts in the light of cognitive science. - N.J.T.T.
