We have all used mind maps of one kind or another at some point in our lives. Every time we brainstorm or jot down our ideas and begin sketching lines, arrows, and symbols between them we are mind mapping. Creating mind maps helps put together information you already know about a subject in a way that reveals relationships with new information.  \nMind maps consist of a central idea,“nodes” or “satellites” and connecting lines, or“stems”. A node represents key terms such as concepts, issues, problems, people, or organizations related to the central idea. Lines between nodes show which concepts are related. Putting a label on the connecting line can identify how or in what way the concepts are related. Here is what a simple map looks like:  \nMind mapping employs the full range of thinking skills – word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness. They can also be effective mnemonic tools. Memory is naturally associative, not linear. Any one idea has hundreds or even thousands of links to other ideas. Remembering the shape and structure of a mind map can provide the cues necessary to remember the information within it. By working the way the brain works, mind mapping provides a way to record and reinforce these associations by engaging more of the brain in the process of assimilating and connecting facts than  \nconventional outlining.  \nMind mapping can be used at every stage of the PA process to:  \n• encourage discovery and creativity  \n• generate and organize ideas (brainstorming)  \n• visualize the relative importance of each idea  \n• see all your basic information on one page  \n• visualize complex relationships among ideas  \n• clearly define the central problems of an issue  \n• visualize relationships between stakeholders  \n• identify contradictions, paradoxes, and gaps in research, providing a foundation for further questioning  \n• aid learning by explicitly connecting new and old knowledge  \n• organize projects  \nGetting The Most from Mind Mapping  \nA good mind map abandons the list structure of conventional note taking and shows the“shape” of the subject, the relative importance of information and ideas, and the way that information relates to other information. Typically mind maps are more compact than conventional notes providing a larger picture. This helps associations to be made easily. Information that is acquired after the main mind map has been drawn can be easily integrated with minimal disruption by expanding to new connected maps. In this way maps can be “nested” within one another endlessly.  \nKeep in mind that mind maps are your own property. Once you understand how to assemble the basic structure you can develop your own coding and conventions to take things further. The following suggestions, however, will help to enhance the impact of your mind maps:  \n• Use key words, or wherever possible images and symbols.  \n• Start from the center with a clear and strong visual image that depicts the general theme of the map and work outwards.  \n• Create sub-centers for sub-themes.  \n• Put key words on lines. This reinforces the structure of connections.  \n• Print rather than write in script. It makes them more readable and memorable. Lower case is more visually distinctive (and better remembered) than upper case.  \n• Use color to depict themes, associations and to make things stand out. (Anything that STANDS OUT on the page will stand out in your mind) .  \n• Use arrows, icons or other visual aids to show links between different elements.  \n• Don't get stuck in one area. If you dry up in one area go to another branch.  \n• Put ideas down as they occur, wherever they fit. Don't judge or hold back.  \n• Think three-dimensionally.“Nest”maps whenever possible.  \n• Break boundaries. If you run out of space, don't start a new sheet; paste more paper onto the map.
