A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information around a central concept, using images, words, and branches of associated ideas/topics arranged radially. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas as an aid for studying, organizing information, solving problems, making decisions and writing. While similar graphical methods have existed for centuries, mind maps were popularized by author Tony Buzan in the 1970s as a note-taking technique that utilizes more of the brain's cognitive skills than linear notes. Mind mapping software allows for creating large, organized digital mind maps.

- 3. 1 Characteristics Mind maps are, by definition, a graphical method of taking notes.
- 4. 2 Mind map guidelines In his books on Mind Maps author Tony Buzan suggests using the following guidelines for creating Mind Maps: Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors. Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your Mind Map. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters. Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line. The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate out from the centre. Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support. Use multiple colors throughout the Mind Map, for visual stimulation and also to encode or group. Develop your own personal style of Mind Mapping. Use emphasis and show associations in your Mind Map. Keep the Mind Map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches.
- 6. mind map is a diagram used to represent words , ideas , tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate , visualize , structure , and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems , making decisions , and writing.
- 7. History Pictorial methods for recording knowledge and modelling systems have been used for centuries in learning, brainstorming , memory, visual thinking , and problem solving by educators, engineers, psychologists, and others. Some of the earliest examples of such graphical records were developed by Porphyry of Tyros , a noted thinker of the 3rd century, as he graphically visualized the concept categories of Aristotle . Philosopher Ramon Llull (1235–1315) also used such techniques.
- 8. 5 Effectiveness in learning Buzan claims that the mind map is a vastly superior note taking method because it does not lead to a "semi-hypnotic trance" state induced by other note forms. Buzan also argues that the mind map uses the full range of left and right human cortical skills, balances the brain, taps into the alleged "99% of your unused mental potential ", as well as intuition (which he calls "superlogic").
- 9. 6 Tools Mind mapping software can be used effectively to organize large amounts of information, combining spatial organization, dynamic hierarchical structuring and node folding.
- 10. 7. Trademarks Psychologist Edward Tolman is credited with the creation of cognitive mapping.The use of the term "Mind Maps" is claimed as a trademark by The Buzan Organisation, Ltd. in the United Kingdom and the United States .
