Description
This book presents a rich theoretical discussion of planning based on cognitive psychology and neuropsychology, and demonstrates how planning can be applied to such practical areas as writing, visual search, and managerial decision-making and skills.
Following a review of the literature on planning, the authors examine the unique role of language as a cognitive tool and the developmental relationship of language to planning and thinking. They then propose a new theory of information processing - the PASS theory - which takes a neuropsychological perspective and in which planning is the main component. The book also contains the authors' own research findings and methods for measuring individual differences in planning and rating scales for excellence.
