From what i have learn this week during Mr. Radzibedu's class, associated mind map enables random words to relate with each others even though they have no connection at all. This leads to divergent thinking which means that brainstorming is acquired in order to think of something creative, yet it is still relevant to the topic given. Under associated mind map, one can think out of the box and think freely. For example, when we talk about bed, we will straight away think of a place for us to either sleep or dream. Instead, in associated thinking, maybe we can consider it as a place for us to work???
