In the Clear Messages Foundation Course we emphasis the technique of organising your ideas into a hierarchy. Medina's book back this up with brain research:
"... if you want to get the particulars correct, don't start with details. Start with key ideas and, in a hierarchical fashion, form the details around these larger notions" p84, Brain Rules
The book goes on to describe research on how to differentiate between experts and novices. The difference is that experts do not simply memorise a collection of facts, rather they organise their knowledge around key concepts and this guides their thinking.
More details about Brain Rules go here, or better yet buy a copy of the book.
