Excerpt from the original: Learning theories: classical and operant conditioning (psychology notes) Behaviourist assumptions - Behaviour is learned from the environment, not inborn. - Only observable behaviour should be studied scientifically. - The same laws of learning apply to animals and humans, so animal experiments are used. Classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov, 1890s–1900s)

How to structure a psychology mind map

A good way to structure it, and a checklist to use when you edit the map yourself.

  1. Key concepts

    The terms the theory is built on, each defined in a few words — the vocabulary exam questions use.

  2. Theory or model

    Who proposed it and when, and its parts or stages as child branches.

  3. Key studies

    Each study with researcher, year, method and finding as leaves, so you can quote it as evidence.

  4. Applications

    Where the theory is used in therapy, education, work or everyday life.

  5. Evaluation

    Strengths, weaknesses and competing explanations kept apart — the branch most essay marks depend on.

When to use it

Revise a topic for an exam

Paste your notes on memory, attachment or social influence and see theories, studies and evaluation side by side.

Plan an extended answer

Use the evaluation branch as the skeleton of a long answer: one point, one study as evidence, one counterpoint.

How the AI mind map generator works

  1. Paste text or a link

    Drop in an article, notes or a webpage URL. Once signed in, upload a PDF or eBook.

  2. Get the map in 1–3 minutes

    AI reads the content, keeps its structure and lays it out as branches you can open one at a time.

  3. Navigate, edit, export

    Collapse and expand branches, rename nodes, then export as PNG, Markdown, or XMind to use anywhere.

FAQ

Will it get study details right?

When you paste notes or a source, names, years and findings come from that text. If you type only a topic, the AI writes from general knowledge, so check researchers and dates against your textbook before an exam.

Can it compare two theories?

Yes. Paste notes on both, such as the multi-store and working memory models, and each becomes its own branch with its evidence and criticisms, so the comparison is easy to read.

Can I map a whole chapter?

Yes. Sign in and upload the chapter as a PDF or EPUB. The free trial on this page takes pasted text up to 5,000 characters.
