Mind Maps
Rules:
to follow when constructing Mind Maps
Main topic:
Fundamental or main idea
Landscape oriented:
Sentences/lines run parallel to the long side of the paper
Middle of page:
The main topic is centered on the page
Sketch / Image:
of the main topic is centered on the mind map
Large:
should be larger than the subordinate branches, so the main idea stands out
Subtopics:
a mind map always develops outward, from the essential to individual details
Connecting lines:
horizontal, underneath keywords
Capital letters:
block letters are more catchy, memorable
Colors:
facilitate cooperation of both sides of the brain, motivate and enhance creativity
Symbols:
symbols should have relationship to keywords, enhance optical stimulus
Keywords:
one keyword per branch
Just the essential:
better retention of overview, easier to recognize relationships among individual branches
Possible applications:
use them any time you need to quickly prepare well-structured reports, suitable for presentation
Learning:
once the fundamental idea is understood, keywords suffice to jog the memory
Repetition:
redraw a mind map from memory
Memory:
once the fundamental idea is understood, keywords suffice to jog the memory
Association:
Since everybody associates keywords differently, the best mind map is one you create yourself
Redrawing / Differences:
redraw a mind map from memory--the differences between it and the original display what remains to be learned
Group meetings:
preparing for and taking minutes of group meetings
Minutes:
use a mind map to take minutes, collating the various ideas and points brought up in the meeting
Meeting conduct:
each participant gets an overview of just how the meeting will be conducted
Relevant points:
get to the point--avoid irrelevant contributions
Brainstorming:
structure the ideas you come up with in a mind map
Lecture:
use a mind map to prepare for and to graphically support your freeform lecture
Notes:
only take notes on information you understand
Lectures:
a lecture is for listening--keep your notes short and to the point
While reading:
you should note the most important information as you read, and not afterward
To-Do lists:
Daily schedule, with tasks and appointments
Thought:
interrelation and transformation of thoughts and ideas
Nonlinear:
lists and wraparound text don't correspond to how the brain works
Associations / Nexuses:
nexuses and associations are continuously being restructured, as part of the learning process
Structures:
reconstructed as part of the thought process
Synergy effect:
the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Brain:
The brain is composed of two hemispheres, each like a ball cut in half, connected by the corpus callosum
Left side of the brain:
more pronounced use in the Western world
Rational thought:
intelligent, logical
Logic:
the theory of arriving at correct conclusions
Language:
means of communication
Zahlen:
used to express quantity
Linearity:
one conclusion follows another, without interconnection
Analysis:
systematic investigation
Right side of the brain:
neglected in the Western world
Spatial perception:
the ability to see depth in spatial objects
Imagination:
the power to invent and imagine
Color:
sensory perception of different wavelengths of light
Rhythm:
consistent progression of events
Form:
appearance of objects and living beings
Pattern recognition:
identifying drawings and structures by means of a graphical template
Dimensionality:
spatiality
Both sides of the brain:
Mind mapping uses both sides of the brain
More efficient:
creativity as well as learning efficiency increase
