Visual Thinking and Mind Mapping
It is known that visual thinking is inherent and natural to human mind. That is why visual form is
most effective for representing information of any sort: it provides clarity, facilitates perception
and understanding, gives a general view which is especially important in planning, developing
ideas and projects, studying complex material. Information in visual form is easier to remember,
and effective to present and explain to others.
Mind Mapping is a technique for representing and organizing ideas and items of information in a
visual form. It helps you express your ideas in an easy way and organize them one after another in
the form of a tree. It reflects the natural mode of thinking:
1) the main topic is put in the center;
2) then it is developed in the topics;
3) which in their turn are further developed in the subtopics which are put as sub-topics.
In the sub-topics, the topic is divided into parts, specified and presented in more detail. Subtopics
can also hold additional information, or some ideas formed by association. Moreover, there are
conventional graphical signs which can be added to the topics to evaluate the ideas or show the
attributes of the topics. This results in a clear graphical representation of the ideas (or items of
information) and relations between them in the form of a Mind Map. In the Mind Map you can
also reinforce the ideas by using graphics, colors, figures and connections. The main advantage of
Mind Maps, in comparison with ordinary lists and tables, is that a Mind Map provides a view of the
whole. You see the entire structure of the topic presented - this leads to better understanding,
and you can discover new ideas and approaches.
ConceptDraw MINDMAP is a powerful and easy-to-use tool for Mind Mapping. Its advanced
features will help you quickly organize your ideas and structure your concepts, plans, daily work,
