Mind Map

Today we learn about what mind map is.

MIND: Follow your mind, not your heart.

MAPPING: Process of representation, exploration and establishing idea/concept or information on ‘paper’.

MIND MAPPING (introduce by Tony Buzan)

  • A technique of generating idea and brainstorming.
  • A tools that allows you to put info into your brain and retrieve when need it.

2 types of Mind Mapping: Logical Mind Map & Associated Mind Map

Logical Mind Map:

  • concise way of listing & categorizing mass info.
  • usage of images along words create interest
  • relationship between words help trigger memories & reduce amount of note.

Rules of Logical Mind Mapping

  • always have subject in the center of the page.
  • more dominant than rest of words.
  • different categories, colors, make it easier identify
  • decide main categories

 

Although most of us have done a lot mind map way back in Alpha year, we not really know there are 2 types of mind mapping.

As idea from Logical Mind Map is stereotype and not new,

we need to get far away from the original word by using Associated Mind Map.

So today, funny Lecturer used Mortal & Pestle to show us how to get away from stereotype.

mortal pestleStone>Heavy>Expensive>Girls>Trouble>?

Because from one word can link to a word that looks non related making Associated Mind Map fun!
