Concept maps can be used to show the links and logical connections between the concepts that make up an area of study, from the whole course to just a single topic. By organising concepts in a hierarchical manner from overarching or integrative concepts down to specific examples, concept maps work with the brain’s inclination to find patterns in and organise the physical and conceptual world. They also aid associative memory and help a learner distinguish between overarching or organising principles and specific examples of those principles. To draw a concept map, start with the central, overarching concept in the middle, and then branch out to the major ideas and then to more specific illustrative examples. Put concepts at the nodes (i.e. in the bubbles or at the end of links) and put the logical connections between concepts on the links. The following is an example of a concept map providing an overview of elementary statistics.
