Mind Mapping
Drawings have been used for centuries to
analyze problems and map out information
Unless you retain and review what you
have learned, you are likely to lose 80% of
it within 24 hours.
Students at a leading university who
received an A on the final exam were
given the same exam a month later.
None of them passed it, proving that
the final exam was final indeed.
A Recall Strategy
Mind Mapping trains your mind for
more efficient retention and recall.
Mind maps are tools which help you
think and learn.
University students have found mind
maps useful.
Understanding is not
recall
Understanding something is not sufficient
to remember it.
Thinking that you understand what you
have seen, heard, or read is different
than can actually short-circuit your
memory
Mental associations are also necessary
for recall.
Mind Mapping reinforces understanding
and gives a visual framework for
organizing ideas and making
associations.
Most importantly
Use key words, symbols, and pictures
packed with meaning and associations
that work for you.
Weave them together by color,
positioning, outlines, or arrows
But the most important weaving for
memory is creating mental
associations
Review, Review
To retain your material in long-term
memory, schedule review sessions.
Review frequently, and the material
will be yours.
Having your review map on one-page
makes reviewing easy and enjoyable.
