Cognitive Maps for Brainstorming

• These maps are a great technique for brainstorming.
• You can slap down concepts, and relations.
• You can do it pretty quickly.
• You can do it alone or in groups.
• Since it is the way we think (via associations), it is really easy to do this.
• Brainstorming has become popular over the last few decades.
• Cognitive maps are a great way to record these sessions.
• They're also a great way of facilitating them.
• Cognitive maps act as a medium term memory.
• When brainstorming, feel free to make new landmark nodes.
