A MIND MAP is an image-centred diagram used to represent words or ideas which are linked to or associated with a central key word.

The keyword used in the centre of the diagram is the focus of the mind map. The main themes of the keyword are then grouped into different areas branching off from the centre word. From the main themes - links, associations, and connections can be made.

Mind maps provide great assistance to study, planning, problem solving, and decision making.
