The free version is limited, but the paid version is definitely worth the investment for the added benefits. I would give the book 5 stars but I don't like the fact that you have to read it in a horizontal manner based off the way the mind map was printed. Further analysis of the difference between mean total scores of the pre-quiz (quiz 1) and post-quiz (quiz 2) in each group was calculated using a standardized z score (Figure 6). They were then given an unfamiliar text passage, a pre-quiz based upon the passage, and a 30-minute break, during which time subjects in the MM group were given a presentation on mind mapping. The size of the book also means that it is easy for students to transport and keep with them out in clinical practice, meaning they can refer to it during their practice time and use it as a handy reference guide.

The basic version is free, but a one-time purchase unlocks powerful features like custom themes, folding branches, and external screen support. Academic information is commonly available to the learner through reading, visualizing, or listening.The difference in mean score of the pre-quiz (quiz 1) between subjects in the SNT group and MM group was not significant.

Mind Maps for Medicine is a key medical textbook for all medical students but particularly those who consider themselves visual learners. The interaction between the learner and his environment results in meaning or understanding; therefore, the two are inextricable[ 9].This was done to see if the students retained the factual information and to address potential testing effects (ie, higher scores due to repeated testing exposure).

Current - thoroughly revised and updated incorporating the latest clinical guides with many maps new to this edition including Breast Disease and expanded coverage of Rheumatological, Haematological and Endocrine conditions. Unlike concept maps, mind maps are multisensory--they include color and pictures, which facilitate the conversion of information from short- to long-term memory[ 23, 27].The purpose of this 5 multiple-choice question quiz was to test the students' factual understanding of the passage without any note-taking strategy.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.Surprisingly, for a mind map book, it has a lot of detail on the conditions, management and clinical features. Future studies should be designed to allow subjects to create multiple mind maps so that they can gain proficiency in the technique. And, no significant differences were found between pre- and post-HSRT mean total scores and subscores.
