A diagram used to analyze the causes of a complex problem or event by showing all the factors that contribute to it.

A visual representation of a series of events that interact with each other to produce a set of results repeatedly.

A diagram that shows a sequence of events, illustrating the flow of actions or steps from start to finish.

A diagram that shows the sequence of events in a chronological order, often with dates, to illustrate a particular period.

A diagram that shows the events of a story, mapping out each part of the plot.

A scientific method used to test hypotheses and gather evidence through observation, experimentation, and analysis.

A systematic approach used to solve problems by identifying them, gathering data, formulating a hypothesis, testing it, and drawing conclusions.

A collaborative technique where participants brainstorm ideas related to a topic, generating a list of potential solutions or concepts.

A continuous writing technique where you write whatever comes to mind without worrying about grammar or spelling, allowing ideas to flow freely.

A simple list of ideas related to a topic, helpful for narrowing down or exploring different perspectives on a subject.

A visual representation of ideas and their connections, using a web-like structure to illustrate relationships between concepts.

A structured process for organizing information by dividing a topic into main points, subtopics, and supporting details.

The process of carefully choosing and gathering information relevant to a specific topic or purpose.

The skill of arranging information in a logical and organized way, making it easier to understand and present.

The most exciting and important moment in a story where the outcome is revealed.

The events that happen after the climax, leading to the resolution.

The end of the story where all the loose ends are tied up.

A visual tool that helps understand the different elements of a story, like the characters, plot, and setting.

An outlining format that uses decimals to show the hierarchy of ideas, typically used in scientific texts.

The main ideas or points in an outline, often marked with Roman numerals or numbers in both alphanumeric and decimal formatting.

Supporting details or evidence that expand on major parts in an outline.

Specific facts, examples, or details that provide further support to the subpoints in outlining.

The hierarchy of ideas within an outline, showing which parts are more important or more detailed.

A type of text that describes something, often using details to give a clear picture.

A method of outlining that uses a combination of letters and numbers to organize information.

A method of outlining that uses only numbers to organize information.

A principle of outlining that requires related ideas to be labeled with the same level of importance (e.g., all main points are labeled with Roman numerals).

A principle of outlining that requires less important details to be placed under their respective major details.

A principle of outlining that requires each cluster of information to have at least two items. No cluster should contain only one item.

A principle of outlining that requires all entries in each cluster to have the same structure and format. This helps maintain consistency and readability.

The ability of the brain to retain information and recall it later. Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation.

The time it takes for your brain to process information and respond to stimuli. Sleep deprivation can impair reaction time.
