When is it best to use mind mapping?
409801
"Mind maps have many applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations, including note-taking, brainstorming (wherein ideas are inserted into the map radially around the center node, without the implicit prioritization that comes from hierarchy or sequential arrangements, and wherein grouping and organizing is reserved for later stages), summarizing, revising and general clarifying of thoughts. For example, one could listen to a lecture and take down notes using mind maps for the most important points or keywords. One can also use mind maps as a mnemonic technique or to sort out a complicated idea. Mind maps are also promoted as a way to collaborate in colour pen creativity sessions."

A few ways i've experimented with..\n\nHypnosis: i tried it, but i fell asleep and didn't get much from it\n\nSay things 11 times: it takes the average human 11 times before their brain memorizes it.\n\nPractice remembering exactly what a picture you looked at saw: I've been doing this for a while, and i must say that i almost have a photographic memory.. i can recite an entire sheet of paper after 1 minute looking at it

Discipline.  The mind, which is associated with the human brain, is but a tool.  To get the maximum use out of any tool, one must practice.\n\nReading helps.  Working puzzles helps.  Answering questions helps.  Asking good questions helps.

Dell Logic Puzzles; keeping the brain "active" in the early [and all] stages has been shown in studies to deter the onset and alleviate the process; I believe that involving BOTH sides of brain, left and right, such as visual puzzles involving "logic" and calculating strategy, are excellent, good music, and "active conversation"; also, as much "joy" as possible- pets, family, friends, new and long-time ones, all have shown great help!

I don't know, really.  If I could read minds, I'd understand what you are asking.  Are you asking for directions (Mind Reading 101)?  Or are you saying that you do read minds and want to know how you became thus gifted?\n\n"Test everything. Hold on to the good."  -- I Thessalonians 5:21.

Most people know that the best way to check that we understand something is to be able to explain it to others. \n\nConsider the lessons for us in the following: \n\nWe learn: \n10% of what we read \n20% of what we hear \n30% of what we see \n50% of what we both see and hear \n70% of what is discussed with others \n80% of what we experience personally \n90% of what we TEACH to someone else \nHow do YOU learn/revise? How could you do it better?\n\nWhen you are trying to remember important words or ideas, it helps tremendously to develop brain"hooks" as an aid. These are visual pictures or kinaesthetic memories which link to the word. It doesn't matter how logical, or how ridiculous these are, they can be a great aid to learning.\n\n"Memory men" are well used to using hooks when learning lists of names. eg "Shakespeare"  can conjure up quite an amusing picture which can act as a hook to the name.\n\nTry standing on one leg and tapping your head while you say a difficult to remember name out loud. The chances are that if you carry out the same action a week later, the word will spring into your mind.\n\nRhymes and pnemonics can also be very useful.Most of us remember "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" for the colours of the spectrum.\n\nWe are not all the same type of learner. Learning types can be simply divided into Visual (learn best by "seeing"), Auditory (learn best by "hearing" or Kinaesthetic (learn best by "doing"). We may learn better using one, or a combination of these types of learning.

I don't know if this Q has been posted for a specific person, but my answer to this is that you can move using common sense and the eyes of your immagination. Combine them and you will go where YOU want to go.\n\nKaterina

I don't think you have to be a mind-reader, but I think you DO have to be a good communicator.  If you have a close and loving relationship, you'll know it.  If you have to ask, there are probably some areas to work on...

Very good class to take. It helps you to see how the mind thinks and what makes it tick. Everything we do starts with how we think and the ways we use our brains.

I get deja vu frequently, also. The best way to practice it is just to follow your instincts. If you think you should go with a choice, go with it and see what happens. Also, if you want to get very good at it, you should write down every time that you get a "vision" and note down the results- did you succeed, what went wrong...\nIf more than half the time you are right, keep going! You are probably on to something, then.

There more senses you use the more you will remember. So if you use your eyes to take a mental picture. You'll probably remember it for a while but if you concentrate on how it smells and/or sounds you'll remember more.

the best time to exercise your brain would be while listening to someone attentively or while assimilating things!!!you don't need to make an extra effort to exercise..it automatically gets exercised in the process!!

Like your mind or something..\nLike when you think? Make sense?\n\nWhen you do things without thinking you're stupid.\nBut you use that little friend (your mind) to help you. :)

There is no absolutely proven link for mind over matter. In terms of using your mind to overcome pain, then this may be possible as you are simply training your brain to ignore pain signals. Walking over hot coals may be an example of this, but again scientists are divided over whether this is true mind-over-matter.\n\nIn terms of using your mind to move objects across a room, then i think this highly unlikely to be acheivable, purely for the fact that it would require an immense energy exchange.
