Abstract

Psychology and wellbeing promotion in educational contexts

Prefrontal cortex

Visuospatial planning

Traveling salesman problem (TSP)

We studied planning behavior in a group of normal subjects and a groupof closed head injury patients (CHI). A computerized version of thetraveling salesman's problem was used as a visuospatial planning abilitytask. The program collected measurements of partial times, number ofmoves, and number of skipped subgoals. These measures allow us tocalculate a "planning index" of subjects' planning ability. Results showthat CHI patients present limitations in the planning process due tothe lack of ongoing planning.
