Memory Mind Mapping​

Introduction

Brain functions, human cognition, and memory are often driven by images and visuals. The human brain collects and stores messages and lessons as images and provides them to us when needed. When we visualize each lesson, it remains in our minds for a long time. The more we store knowledge as images, the longer our memory lasts and the greater our memory capacity grows.

Memory Mind Mapping is a learning method where you draw a diagram of a subject, memorize the abstract, and recall it when needed. Tony Buzan, a renowned figure in the world of memory, discovered and implemented this method in the 1960s. Known as the ‘Father of Memory Mind Mapping,’ he popularized this effective learning technique.

How Mind Map Works?

Storing an idea in the mind as a map means using both the left and right brain simultaneously. The left side of our brain analyzes and stores information sequentially, while the right side adds imagination, colors, and visuals. This dual-brain approach strengthens cognition and helps embed information deeply in our minds, making it easy to recall.

 

Enhanced Memory Retention: Memorize what you read and keep it deeply in your memory.

Efficient Learning: Cover large amounts of material in a short time.
Effective for Exams: Strengthen memory and perform well without fear.

Example: Tony Buzan mentions that you can memorize an entire book using this method. Pictorial representation is a rare mnemonic method recognized by most mnemonics as the best mnemonic art. This method also simplifies learning great lessons and essays, making it very helpful during exams.

Structure of Mind Map


A memory mind map is to understand a subject well, absorb it fully, draw the entire universe as a feast for our eyes and mind, draw it as a map on one page and commit it to our memory.
It helps to map out the various topics (branches) in a subject into small bits of knowledge, like having many branches on a tree, and to memorize them.
