You can take the research journey full circle by using your sub-links to find more information, then by re-associating your new findings through the key concept you started with.
If you’ve not seen them before, or want a recap of the basics, check the video at the bottom of this post for an example of a mind map in development.
For remembering key facts and forming a basic, overall awareness of something, they’re great. You can easily add more to them and shape them in a way that benefits you.
There are a huge number of services for creating mind maps on computer and online. Chuck Frey has put together a huge resource list of all the mindmapping tools currently available. There are so many tools out there, you’re spoilt for choice.
But be warned. Mind maps aren’t a perfect study tool: “A disadvantage of mind mapping is that the types of links being made are limited to simple associations. Absence of clear links between ideas is a constraint.” (Davies)
