The regularities of human cognition associated with imaginative and symbolic-logical components of thinking are considered. A functional and logical model of imaginative thinking is developed and a block diagram of the model is presented. The psychological regularities of imaginative thinking related to operational and long-term memory, the life cycle of images, filtering and correction of images in accordance with the developed functional and logical model are illustrated.

Neuropsychological principles of brain functioning and regularities of its system functioning in the process of studying the mechanisms of formation of imaginative thinking are considered. It is shown that the interaction of the brain hemispheres determines different models of image formation. Energy-informational interaction associated with the functioning of higher mental functions is illustrated by a number of examples, including the formation of prayer and poetic images. A schematic representation of cognitive semiosis in the process of understanding the integral image as a resource of semiotic operations is presented.
