central theme
directly from the central theme are called first level associations. Then second level associations are created, third level and so on. The brain thinks by imagination and association. When associations are created, connections are made. These connections are essential for remembering and thinking.
associations
Associations are often drawn as, They are _____ rather than straight because the brain likes _____.
curve lines
Mind maps summarize information. Instead of sentences, ideally only single _____ are used. A single word per association gives more freedom, creativity, and clarity.

proximity
