It is now online the Article “Walking on a minefield: planning, remembering, and avoiding obstacles: preliminary findings” by Alessia Bocchi, Massimiliano Palmiero and Laura Piccardi, published in Experimental Brain Research. The article is focused on travel planning, a skill crucial to reach a destination and/or to select the best route according to the environmental features. Considering that travel planning involves several cognitive processes (i.e. visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM); topographic working memory and general planning) we investigated the weight of these processes. Specifically, we used the Minefield Task (Bocchi et al 2020) a tool developed in our laboratory a few years ago. The results show that the underlying processes in travel planning appear to be VSWM and general planning, so young people with better VSWM and planning skills also score higher in travel planning.
