Mind Mapping

Updated: Mar 3, 2022

Tony Buzan is the inventor of Mind Map and has long been regarded as the founder and forerunner in promoting the mental literacy in his life-time around the world. In 1974, he appeared on an episode of the BBC’s TV Series Use Your Head to present a new type of diagram: a colorful tree-like structure, with words spreading out radially from the central idea, and learning and creativity using this technique changed forever.



A Mind Map is a visual representation of how the brain sorts out information. In the centre of the Mind Map you have a keyword or an image. Radiating from that centre are more keywords and images associated and link in a similar way the brain makes its own links and associations. From those keywords and images, more layers can be added and it can keep going without any end or until the desired result is achieved. Mind maps involve a unique combination of imagery, color and visual-spatial arrangement which is proven to significantly improve recall when compared to conventional methods of note-taking.
