Abstract
In assessing cognitive processes, one can distinguish between coding and planning functions. Two studies on planful behavior are reported with a view to delineate the nature of planning as a factor within the neuropsychological model of Luria. In the first study, planning emerged as a factor which was orthogonal to two other coding factors consistent with previous research. In the second study, good and poor performers in visual search, a marker task for planning, could be clearly distinguished in a game of strategies, “Master Mind.” It was suggested that assessment of planning can be made by observing how strategies are used in games and in experimental situations.
