Study finds memory of drawings far superior to writing words

Here is the link to a study I mentioned in the section of this forum on Note-Taking and Mind Mapping. Enjoy, and offer any thoughts/comments you have. The study found that even drawing simple doodle/pictures of ideas which remind you of the words you wish to remember, for only a few seconds, was far superior to memory retention, than writing out those words.

Also, an excellent website of hand drawn Mind Map art (see link below).

And just for fun, a recent video uploaded to YouTube of Lana Israel with Tony Buzan in the 1990’s, teaching Mind Maps. This is a great vid for the kids to learn from.

And here are some more from the 1980’s of Tony Buzan teaching his Mind Map method, also.
