Which map would you use to analyze cause and effect relationships?

The multi-flow map is specifically designed to analyze cause and effect relationships. It allows users to visually represent the connections between different events, illustrating what leads to a specific outcome and what effects result from a certain cause. This type of map helps clarify the relationships by organizing information in a straightforward manner, making it easier to see the sequence of events and their impact.

In contrast, a tree map is better suited for categorizing information hierarchically, while a flow map focuses on the progression of events rather than their causal links. The double bubble map is typically used for comparing and contrasting two subjects, highlighting similarities and differences rather than exploring causal relationships. The unique structure of the multi-flow map directly supports the analysis of how one event can influence others, which is key to understanding cause and effect.
