Q

a british psychology author and consultant who also developed the technique in creating such map, popularized the use of the phrase “mind map”

A

tony buzan

61
Q

diagram used to represent ideas or information branching from a central key word or idea and used as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision-making, and writing.

A

mind map

62
Q

useful visual tools that help in linking together concepts and information in such a way that the inter- connection and interrelation of these are clearly laid out and easily accessible to help in problem solving and for reference and review

A

mind maps

63
Q

useful during brainstorming sessions, making decisions, organizing information, simplifying complex ideas, note-taking, and even for personal use

A

mind maps

64
Q

five essential characteristics of mind mapping

A

center image; main branches; branches; twigs; nodal structure

65
Q

represents the main idea, subject, or focus

A

center image

66
Q

radiate from the central image

A

main branches

67
Q

comprises of a key image or word drawn or printed on its line

A

branches

68
Q

represent the lesser topics

A

twigs

69
Q

the branches in mind maps form a

A

connected nodal structure

70
Q

steps in creating basic mind maps

A

title in the center of page; draw lines and label major subjects; draw additional lines; draw lines for individual facts/ideas; as you come across new information, link it to my mind map appropriately

71
Q

tips to use mind maps effectively

A

use single words/phrases; print words; use color to separate different ideas; use symbols & images; use cross-linkages

72
Q

Many words in normal writing are padding, as they ensure that facts are conveyed in the correct context, and in a format that is pleasant to read. In mind maps, single, strong words, and short meaningful phrases can convey the same meaning more potently. Excess words just clutter the mind map.

A

use single words/phrases

73
Q

Joined up or indistinct writing is more difficult to read.

A

print words

74
Q

this will help you to separate ideas where necessary. It also helps you to visualize the mind map for recall.

A

use color to separate different ideas

75
Q

can help to show the organization of the subject

A

color

76
Q

Pictures can help you to remember information more effectively than words, so if a symbol or picture means something to you, use it. (You can use photo libraries like iStockPhoto to source images inexpensively.)

A

use symbols or images

77
Q

Information in one part of a mind map may relate to another part. Here, you can draw lines to show the ______________.

A

use cross-linkages

78
Q

This helps you to see how one part of the subject affects another.

A
