Mind Maps
Learning to create mind maps takes time and
practice
Mind maps use and stimulate the visual abilities of
the mind
The benefits are that they enhance the memorys
storing and recalling capabilities through the use of
images for emphasis and association
If represented visually a subject can be understood
and remembered much more efficiently.

Images
Human brain has a huge capacityfor remembering images
In an experiment where
individuals were shown and askedto remember 2460 images (one
per second with short breaks
every few hundred images)
94% accuracy when asked to recallvia choice between pairs of
previously seen image and one not
previously seen.

Images
24 % of people say they have no
visualisation capacity
incapable of creating images
no ability to paint or draw
they probably mistake initial failure
for fundamental incapacity or
images and colours are somehowperceived as primitive, childish,
immature or irrelevant

Summary of Mind Map Laws 1
Techniques
Use Emphasis
always use a central
image - worth athousand words
use images throughout
your Mind Map
use three or more
colours use dimension in
images and around
words

Summary of Mind Map Laws 2
Words should be printed more photogenic
more immediate
easier to read
Words should be on a line Each line connected to other
lines
this gives basic structure
Words should be in units one word per line
gives more free hooks

Mind Maps Should be Fun!
Mind maps are about radiant thinking
The mind should be left as free as possible
too much thinking about where things should go or whether
they should be included will simply slow down the process
They should
enhance the memory!
delight the eye!
stimulate the right cortical processes!

The disadvantages of standard
notes They obscure key words
important ideas are conveyed by key
words that bring back sprays of relevantassociations whenever they are read or
heard. In standard notes these key words
often appear on different pages , obscured
by the mass of less important words.

The disadvantages of standard notes
They make it difficult to remember or
analyse
monotonous, single colour notes arevisually boring. As such they are rejected
and forgotten. Take the form of endless
similar looking lists. The sheer monotony of
making such lists puts the brain in a semi-
hypnotic trance, making it impossible to
remember their content.Just like this slide

The disadvantages of standard notes
They waste time
by encouraging unnecessary noting
by requiring the reading of unnecessarynotes
by requiring re-reading of unnecessary
notes by requiring the searching for key words

The disadvantages of standard notes
They fail to stimulate the brain creatively
the linear presentation of standard notes
prevents the brain from makingassociations, thus counteracting creativity
and memory.Also when faced with list
style notes, the brain constantly has the
sense that it has come to the end orfinished - slowing and stifling our thought
processes.
