Lesson 5: Associative Mind Maps
This week has been a really fun and entertaining class! Thanks to Mr. Radzi for the activity and fun-filled class! What we learned this week is about Associative Mind Map and how it is different from the Logical Mind Map that most of us are familiar with.
The difference between the both of them is that Logical Mind Maps list down all related issues/problems/ideas that are linked directly to the main problem. Each and every keyword are interrelated and is more suited to be used to reach a consensus or to solve a problem.
Associated Mind Maps on the other hand lists down keywords that have little to do in common with one another. Here we are able to practise diverge thinking and try to think of creative ways to link 2 words that seemingly have nothing in common with one another. For example, last week I posted a simple exercise to relate the word needle and karma. That is a part of the creative process of associative mind mapping. Associative mind mapping allows for more exploration of various possibilities and enables us to think out-of-the-box.
The associative thinking was demonstrated by Mr. Radzi who easily relates various random words to the mortar and pestle. For example, he related the mortar and pestle to the word Fashion. It was pretty interesting to see how he related the mortar being worn as a hat and the pestle as an earring!! With a little exploration of words we are able to generate various ideas and this is the main purpose of associative mind maps. So lets start being creative by doing more associative mind maps from now on! Till next time! =)
