My key takeaway: having gaps in knowledge allows you to recall. But having all the knowledge presented allows you for recognition. Learning comes from recalling.

"it is about recall, not recognition" Well said, thank you Justin.

RECOGNITION VS. **RECALL** this is legitimately life-changing. endless thanks. I've only been temporarily memorizing things, rather than learning and this is why!!

This was awesome! I wish I'd studied this way during my undergrad - "recognition is useless, recall is useful"

[<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="112">1:52</a>] "You are not a special snowflake" killed it. The man is savage. Thank you for this! :)

A suggestion: You may use a little bit darker ink pen, may be a marker to represent your drawings.

I’m a first generation college student and am pursuing a master’s degree. Your content is very helpful. Thank you!

Just love rewatching this. Feels like a goldmine that just keeps producing

This guy is so smart and encouraging. He’s truly helping me.

Could you show us how to mind map the 'right way' while reading from a textbook.

I mean if you mind mapped by teaching yourself post study and understanding I think that’s the most helpful cuz it brings all concepts to a specific place and allows you to understand their relationships to each other I ‘mind map’ using a whiteboard only after I’m done with a huge section of study, for example I finish studying all pathologies of the heart (med school), and doing practice questions and filling knowledge gaps. It gives such a whole picture if you put everything on the whiteboard, but as you’re filling the board, you can’t just mindlessly do that, you have to talk talking to yourself and teaching yourself as you fill up the board. But only write pertinent things and narrate the full picture as you go along. And when you’re done filling up the board. Teach yourself again, but only narrate this time and the connections will just keep getting solidified. After that then go do multiple choice questions (if that’s how your actual is being written) and keep doing them and saying why the other options are wrong, and if you wanna kick it up a notch, for the wrong options you can even say ‘if this option had this then it would be correct, or if this question had this this this other option would be correct’ It takes long, sure, but it really helps, at least it really helps me, and whenever I didn’t do things like this, I always saw it’s impact in my scores. I do understand that people may feel like this level may a bit hard to maintain but I think I just like to see all concepts just keep getting closer and closer and how at the end of the day, everything is related to each other, again, at least in medicine. When I used to study something like math, I would first memorize all the formulas and why that formula was actually the best to be used, so like a form of derivation, not really tho, after memorizing I would practice writing them out from memory. Then I start reading the examples given and following along the steps, asking a ton of why’s though, then I try to solve the question of an example, to see if I get the steps right, and if I did. Then from then till my exam I just keep solving different questions, because in all of them you are practicing steps and formula recollection. I probably didn’t even need to write all of that🤔 but I did tho so it’s already Too late🫠

What is the book on mind maps?

Really interesting, thanks, haven’t thought of it that way, and makes me realise why kind maps have only have worked for me. Would have loved a detailed walkthrough example of mind map developed with concept logical flow in this video.

My adhd makes this a bit harder. But I think I can make it work

Thank you for sharing Sir!

Excellent - this channel will go places

I deeply resonate with those points after practicing lots of mindmap.

Thank you,Justin 💯

Good video. A mental map is a graph, and if you apply graph theory you get to that. The connections between nodes have fundamental measures: cost and flow. When you make a concept map or mental map you should try to reduce the total cost of the graph and you should allow for flow. So in that sense you will see how to reduce to the number of necessary nodes, to the number of necessary edges, the shortest possible edges, the closest possible related nodes, etc. You will then see the nodes from the simple to the complex, from the general to the details, you will be able to group nodes and see how everything flows to that group and leaves that group, etc. For example, a strongly connected graph I don't think is a good mind map. My recommendation is that you study graph theory, and use software to help you, such as Obsidian and the like.

whats the name of the book on mind maps?

Logic and direction of flow. Thank u

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Good stuff, Justin. Good stuff.

Most useful Video ive ever watched tbh

well, if I actually stopped writing everything that my teacher said during a recorded lecture, I would save a lot of time, but I also feel so anxious thinking that I'm not going to remember anything... but what you said about recalling, made me wanted to try

Wow so short but SO IMPACTFUL

I've been using mindmaps for a while and have found them time-consuming to create and not very good at helping me to learn. I see now that I've been doing them wrong, including every last detail. Less is better, it enhances recall. Total Recall.

I just followed you. I'm looking to learn mind mapping

I love this!! 😊

Thanks

Aaaaaaahhhh!!!! Now I know why it didn’t work for me! It looked so messy with no structure and order it was difficult to understand. It makes total sense!! I will give this concept another chance, thank you!

nice video justin, for the screen on the left, I think it would be easier to see if u placed the camera facing directly above the paper rather than so the side, because the angle makes it slightly harder to read

Okay, but give us real world examples we can see. Even very simple examples. For example, this is the wrong way to memorize the parts of the ear using a mind map, but this is the correct way.

THANK YOU

And what is the name of this mind map book?

How do we learn the Mind Mapping please?

AMAZING ❤

Thank you

wow. thanks a lot

Great points. I do wonder though, how does this method work when you want to revise notes monhs, or maybe years down the line. Will you remember what this mind map was?

anyone know the name/author of the actual book Justin is referring to? thanks.

What if my drawing is so awful that I don't even know what I am drawing? Not to speak of the time of making it, how can I recall it afterwards? Do you recommend using some on line tools to draw mindmap?

How do we complete a map of something that we are still trying to learn/understand? Should we wait until we have completed the topic/ section before beginning the map? Or do we do several drafts of the map as our understanding improves?

A book on Mindmap. My mind when it learns to new information YES I want to know everything 😅

Super bold, straight arrows. Not curvy lines going everywhere. Dont write too much. If u forget a little bit later, its better for recall.

Whenever I make notes, I have a tendency to write down all the info I've just learnt because "I'll need to remember all this, so I shouldn't miss a single point" tbh writing notes that way is really exhausting and makes me just give up on the process. also often times, since my notes are basically summaries of the book, it gets so boring going through them before the exams and incorrectly gives off the impression that I know stuff (when I don't actually, I'm just recognising that I'd studied this once)

I need to do one of these on how to deal with emotion,stress and general monkey mind thoughts when I’m day trading

A suggestion- use of darker pen and camera focused from the top straight on to the paper.

"Recognition is useless . Recall is useful .You want recall , not recognition. " from 4 years I was doing this very thing. Even today. Fuck

You need to place the camera above your head so that we can see what you are writing. P.S. constructive criticism

God bless!

can u tell how u retrieve info from recall after encoding...by spaced repetition...do u retrieve all of the mind maps info when u go back to it?...and when u miss anything do u read the text again?!

Thank

can you show an example of this when reading through a textbook please

My my..you’re fast!

So, can we do mindmap notes when in a new lecture? because we have no “concept” of the materials yet.

hey! I have a question that's been going on for a while since I started to watch your videos or justin sung's. Once you have the structure of the map (the layers), where does the information related to all that go? Should I put it on flashcards? or should I also write it on the map? since I don't think I can go back to the book or slides every time I want to know the meaning of key terms or concepts written on my map. Thanks so much!

your camera angle should be direct on top and use black & white to increase contrast for better picture quality.

Quality content 👌

It really is about making an anatomy drawing of the concepts…at least thats the way i see it

What's the book on mindmapping you mentioned?

Concept flow: keep it simples, flowing. Let the complex abstraction be built in your tought process about yourt notes!

How do you know which revision methods to use, for a subject, in order to get the best grades and do it efficently and effectively?

Aantekeningen: Gebruik conceptflow, geef de richting van deze flow duidelijk aan met symbolen, gebruik zo min mogelijk taal, limiteer jezelf tot de belangrijkste connecties, laat info weg om later de ophaling van info te trainen

Great lesson but it ended so quickly. I wanted to hear more!

What to do if we still do not understand with prior knowledge or what if we don't that prior knowledge

What is the book's name you read?

Are you supposed to make mindmaps as you read material?

but how am I supposed to do it neatly if that's how the teacher presents the information?, are mind maps supposed to be made after or during class then?

Ah I noticed myself that most of my learning experiences are recognition and not recall. I recognize a lot of the concepts I 've learned but couldn't quite recall what they are about, how they work etc. I don't do mind maps. Don't like it, don't think it helps for me. I learn by solving problems. Most of what I learn are technical stuff, maths. What I like the most about learning these stuff is that I get to solve practice problems. Even then, after a while I forget how to do most things. I think it's because I didn't get to apply most of what I learn. 😩

Superb bro...But The paper writings could be more focused on Camera, a gentle suggestion, ...good work brother 🎉🎉🎉

Okay do this with geneexpression/generegulation networks. Wanna see the flowwwww ;-) Still many thanks for the upload, really useful √

How do we learn your method?? 🙏

Anyone knows the name of that book?

Self-reference: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="132">2:12</a>

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="124">2:04</a> anyone know which book he is talking about

Trying to recall mindmapping by mindmapping it I'm on another level

When we use mindmaps for brainstorming something like software design… How do we do the connections so clear upfront… The method presented here seems applicable for students…

... and the name of the 150 page mind map book is what?

Would you recommend creating mind maps for math aswell?

First when Justin do the explaining on the board which i can't see, its out for me. Its not working for me.

What apps would anyone recommend?

Do you use an app or paper for mind mapping?

doing the mind map just once listening to a lesson does not work. Do the first, take a new role, do it again from memory and improving connections, look for in the previous one what you did not capture in fact. Do the third in the same way. This third yes, is what should be saved, in the best media you choose. Grateful!

Can u please tell me the book ?

"There's a 150 page book on mind maps" Please someone tell me it's title. I expected to see it in the description

Bruh i only read the first words of the title and thought this was about music, still good video tho

ill take the book. is it the tony buzan book?

Thank you.

👍🏻

Can do an actual demonstration in one of your videos

"Means it's messy" Me with ADHD: 👁️👄👁️

Lost all motivation with the way Justin told me I’m never gonna remember my arrows 😂.

What does « having small gaps « in your mind map actually mean concretely????!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="187">3:07</a>

Covid was three years ago…

summary: - when doing mindmaps we want recall not recognition

Saying "it shouldn't be messy" contradicts your other videos saying "it should be messy" your first go about. Which is it?

ok, but first of all you should watch some video titled "let me change the way you record a video forever", because dude, your board isn't visible at all from this angle.
