The image shows how a child interprets a given text and presents it visually. Through the activity, how well the child understands the text can be revealed. I just think mind maps employ similar idea of changing text to visual. A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea, and to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas (from Wikipedia). In the mind map, the teacher can look further into how a student groups the concepts and find out their misconceptions and weaknesses.
A difference between mind map and visual display is that in the former, people are easily guided by connecting lines to interpret the concepts, while in the latter, no specific paths have been provided, and it depends on how the audience perceive.
