imaginational
Concerning mental imagery
Imaginational relates to or involves imagination—the mental faculty for forming images, ideas, or concepts not present to the senses.
The word appears in psychology and educational contexts: imaginational overexcitability, imaginational play.
It's a more technical alternative to imaginative, emphasizing the process rather than the creative quality.
