About critical thinking mind maps

Exploring Critical Thinking mind maps

Start with Reasoning for a view of deductive and inductive reasoning, premises, conclusions and validity. If you want to focus on argument structure, the map on components in arguments sets out reasons, conclusions and claims. The Critical Thinking map also introduces elements of thought and intellectual standards.

Each map presents related ideas in branches. Follow one branch at a time, then cover it and see whether you can explain the connection in your own words. Return to the map to check the terms you missed.

When to use another format

If you want to check individual terms, switch to a flashcard deck on the unit page. A quiz can give you a different way to review after studying a map. Use your answers to decide which branches to revisit.

What topics do these mind maps cover?
