Training Course on Designing Mind Maps for Sharper Thinking and Memory
1Summary
Four decades of research into how the brain organises information point to the same conclusion: mind mapping is one of the most effective thinking tools available. Starting from a single striking central image and branching outward with one keyword per line, the technique works with memory rather than against it.
This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy breaks down how mind maps are built — from the central image, to the curved main branches, down to secondary and tertiary levels — and shows participants how to use colour, imagery, and single keywords to keep ideas organised and easy to recall.
