I'm not sure I quite understand how mind mapping works. It seems intuitively correct that creating a visual representation would affix information more deeply in one's memory, but how can you fill out the details of the map if you haven't really been consciously exposed to the material?
After all, mind mapping is an activation process, is it not? That would mean that the info would not yet have entered your consciousness. What would you use for the branches of the map if you don't know what the material's main concepts are?
Am I taking something out of sequence here?
