What they say:  " IT is like a super version of a concept map program --> designed to heirachically manipulate sets of diagrams - effectively a set of notes!
Easy sounds - Record your own voice as an MP3 (have a sing along!) or import sound files so that you have sounds to go with your interesting, image filled diagrams!
Your sets of diagrams/concept maps can be arranged heirachichally in a 'knowledge tree' so that you have any amount of structure you want!
AND like a super version of a flashcard program
Tracks your results and then tests the things you are weak on more, skipping revising things you don't need to - saving you time as part of the study method.
Gives you estimates of how long you are going to have to study for to revise the material.
AND the ability to drag sets of diagrams from one place in your notes to another!
Simple search facilities
Input of any file type into RecallPlus notes - stored in RecallPlus structured way.
"
Observations:  Formalized small concept mapping 'cards' software aimed solely at students and learning. Good sales pitch!

Articles
Visual representation of knowledge

Here are some links to articles on the visual representation of knowledge by Sigmar-Olaf Tergan, an academic leader in the field

An overview of concept mapping

This is a 1997 article by Eric Plotnick, from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology Syracuse NY

Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, CaƱas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.
