Mind mapping is a learning technique that was developed by Tony Buzan (1970). A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses the full range of cortical skills — word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness—in a single, uniquely powerful manner. Application of mind map is to construct “Divergent Thinking” in the brain. While applying mind mapping, the ability of logical analysis, reasoning of left brain, creative thinking and memory of right brain can be maximized. Thus, this study reviews related researches to figure out whether mind mapping can be applied by children to develop their creative thinking.
