Visual tools greatly enhance learner performance because:

• The brain is a pattern-seeking wonder!
• Visual tools help learners not only see, but create the patterns.
• They help not only with the active receipt of new ideas and their relationships but with later recall.
• They are the ideal study guide.
• They help learners see past discrete bits of data to the big picture, the concepts that connect.
