A small space to make progress
Concept map with recall
Connect an idea. Then see what stays.
Build a small map of ideas and labelled connections. Hide it, rebuild it or explain it in your own words, then compare with your original.

Concept map with recall
A little space for your own ideas.
This small map supports 24 ideas and 48 labelled links. Labels can have up to 60 characters.

Make it yours
Start with a few ideas and describe the connections between them. Drag nodes to arrange the map, or select a node and use the arrow keys. In recall mode your original is hidden until you choose to compare.
Sources & scope
Blunt & Karpicke (2014) found that recalling educational text as a concept map or as paragraphs improved later performance compared with additional study. The two recall formats did not differ. A map is one way to practise retrieval, not a better alternative to written recall.

A few useful answers
Is a map better than writing from memory?
The cited study did not find an advantage for mapping over paragraph recall. Choose the format that helps you express the material, and check what you missed afterward.
Can I save and move my map?
Your original map is saved in this browser. Export JSON to edit it later on another device, or download a PNG to keep a picture. Recall drafts stay only for the current session unless you export them.
How big can a map be?
Keep it focused: up to 24 nodes and 48 labelled links. Use one map for one topic. This is a small learning workspace rather than a whiteboard.
