There are benefits to be gained by applying a wide range of graphic organizers, and it follows that the mind map, specifically, is not equally suited to all learning tasks.

Scholarly research by Farrand, Hussain, and Hennessy ([[2002]]) found that the mind map technique had a limited but significant impact on recall only, in [[undergraduate]] students (a 10% increase over baseline for a 600-word text only) as compared to preferred study methods (a −6% increase over baseline).  This improvement was only robust after a week for those in the mind map group, and there was a significant decrease in motivation compared to the subjects' preferred methods of note taking.  They suggested that learners preferred to use other methods because using a mind map was an unfamiliar technique, and its status as a "memory enhancing" technique engendered reluctance to apply it.[http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2923.2002.01205.x/full/] Pressley, VanEtten, Yokoi, Freebern, and VanMeter ([[1998]]) found that learners tended to learn far better by focusing on the content of learning material rather than worrying over any one particular form of note taking.
