ABSTRACT

The preponderance of the term “planning processes” in the literature, and the dominance of the use of one particular procedure for study (the Tower of London (TOL), Shallice, 1982, and its variants), suggests that (a) is a widely held assumption. However, this assumption has only rarely been challenged. This chapter aims to provide such a challenge, and to outline ways in which the focus of planning research in the field of cognitive neuroscience needs to be broadened.
