The Mind Map As A Creative Thinking Mechanism
The Mind Map is perfectly suited to innovative thinking as it consumes all the skills commonly found with creativity, specially imagination, association of ideas and flexibility. Psychological research has identified several fundamental elements in creative thinking including: the use of colours, shapes, dimensions, unusual elements, the adjustment of conceptual positions and response to an emotionally appealing objects etc.
Mind Mapping principles are a peripheral manifest of all of these defined categorises: it is a peripheral manifest of the complete thinking process. The nearly identical nature of creative thinking and mnemonic (memory) principles confirms the Mind Map as the essential and natural tool for these forms of thoughts.
