ABSTRACT
In this final subsection, we discuss recent advances in planning research in developmental psychology. Friedman and Scholnick (1998a) have argued persuasively that a complete account of planning should include factors that are simply ignored in many cognitive accounts. In considering planning from a developmental perspective (for related papers, see also the contributions to the edited volumes by Friedman & Scholnick, 1998b; Friedman et al., 1987), they identify additional emotional, motivational, cultural and social factors that may be critical in determining whether a participant is willing and able to plan, whether this be on their own, or with peers or family members to complete a task.
