Summary/Abstract: A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. It reflects hierarchical diversification and shows relationships among pieces of the whole. It creates a non-linear outline of any topic given with powerful graphic technique. It harnesses the full cortical skills – word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness. Mind maps have many applications in personal life, family, education, and business situations, including note-taking, brainstorming, etc. Mind Maps are useful to learn vocabulary, to work with tutors, or even to improve writing and speaking. Mind maps can be used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions and writing.
