How Mind Mapping Works
Learning by sight accounts for 60-80% of everything our brain absorbs and images trigger our memories and associations. Through thecombined use of key words, images, color andinteraction a Mind Map appeals to many of thedifferent ways that people think and learn,making new information easier to understand,less challenging and clearer thinking.An important part of your Mind Map is the useof relevant key words. When you play the gameof word association, you think in singular words, not sentences. For example what comesto mind when I say “Ice-cube”. Your brainwould respond with key words such as“Freezing”, “Drink”, “Party”, rather than “Ohyes it’s really freezing stuff. I use it in drinksduring summer and you always need it at parties”. This is how easy it is to generate ideasfor consideration and planning in your MindMap.
The brain is a wonderful organ; it startsworking the moment you get up in themorning and does not stop until you get intothe office. (Robert Frost)
