ABSTRACT
Frontal lobe involvement in the planning and organization of activity has been well recognized over time, but is not necessarily well understood. Early observations of patients with neurological abnormalities of the prefrontal cortex have set the framework for investigating this issue. Such patients have clear problems in regulating everyday behaviour in an orderly fashion, often with devastating consequences (Eslinger & Damasio, 1985; Goldstein et al., 1993; Luria, 1966).
