Albert Einstein used concept maps and mind maps for most of his research work. A principal from Pune has discovered that the team of students who prepared for examination based on the concept maps had scored more marks than that of others who skipped concept maps.

What is concept?
When we explore our brain, there are two important parts, viz., left and right parts of the brain. Left brain is always dominated by words, numbers, lists, logic and analysis. The right brain is dominated by colours, day dreaming, three dimensional visualisation, rhythm and imagination. Day dreamers’ brains are dominated by right part of the brain.
