They did, however, report that all of the subjects in the mind map group perceived that mind maps are useful for memorizing information. Faul F, Erdfelder E: GPOWER: A priori, post-hoc, and compromise power analysis for MS-DOS computer program.

However, in subjects who were unfamiliar with mind mapping, a short 30-minute presentation on the strategy allowed them to score similarly to subjects in the SNT group who used strategies that have been firmly established. The fact that subjects in the MM group scored worse on the post-HSRT compared to their pre-HSRT total scores could be explained by their unfamiliarity in creating mind maps or fatigue from the testing process. After math quiz 2, all subjects were simultaneously administered text passage quiz 2 based upon the passage. This baseline quiz was used as a covariate to account for potential differences between the groups prior to initiating any note-taking strategy. The HSRT has been extensively studied in health professional students and working professionals[ 14, 31].Mind maps, like da Vinci's notes, are multi-sensory tools that use visuospatial orientation to integrate information, and consequently, help students organize and retain information[ 21, 22]. Mindomo's user-friendly interface and extensive customization options make it a reliable choice for medical students.

The free version is limited, but the paid version is definitely worth the investment for the added benefits. This important finding suggests the strength of mind mapping even after a single, 30-minute introductory session in promoting critical thinking in the novice learner, and supports the notion of adult learner capability[ 7]. Over 100 maps are organised by body system, and include disease definitions and descriptions, pathophysiology, causes, risk factors, investigations, treatments and complications where relevant and applicable. Although the mean score of the post-quiz (quiz 2) was slightly higher among subjects in the SNT group (7.

I am a GP trainee and found this a very useful summary but also the medical students I teach loved it and found it perfect for clinical medicine.
