Support for the superiority of mind maps (only myth) http://www.mind-map.com/EN/index.html 1% mind useage myth

Buzan (1991) Split cortical skills myth (right=creativity, Left=maths etc)

Support for the use of concept maps http://www.columbia.k12.mo.us/she/cncptmap.html Cheers

With respect, saying that mind mapping is superior to concept mapping, or vi subversa, is like saying that an orange is superior to a banana ;-) quercus robur 21:53, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

hello, i think a link to the 3d concept mapping tool - Nelements ( http://nelements.net ) should also be added to this page.

[edit] NPOV

First para needs a NPOV edit- it currently reads;

Concept mapping is a technique to visualize the relations between concepts. A concept map is a diagram showing the relationships between concepts. Concepts, like "tree" or "plant", are connected with labelled arrows, for example ("is-a", "related-to" or "part of"). In contrast with Mind Mapping, which is restricted to radial hierarchies and webs (tree structures) and uses mind myths to market the product, concept maps allow any kind of connections between the concepts (true flexible graph structure) and are supported by solid scientific research. The addition of labeled and flexible links (attached during or after construction) has been found to significantly improve the level of meaningful learning and communication of the concept mapper. quercus robur 12:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I've now removed the POV stuff , so have taken the tag off as well. quercus robur 12:33, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)


I put the concept map within the context of cognitive map (cognition). I believe the concept map subsumes the cognitive map, albeit with a more practical purpose. All up for discussion though. D.Right 04:27, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Novak book

In the section "Empirical evidence", the book "Learning to learn" is mentioned. A quick search on amazon reveals the title of the book is really "Learning how to learn". --24.202.172.138 22:27, 2 September 2005 (UTC) [Pascal D.]

[edit] Links to software

I think that all the links to external software should be moved to list of concept mapping software to prevent redundancy, and confusion. Also I think it might be a good idea to merge this will the list of mind mapping programs.
